How do I start getting internet service on my palm pilot TX?

I don't want to have to go to a hotspot everytime I want to use my palm pilot for the internet.

How do I start getting internet service on my palm pilot TX?
T|X uses Bluetooth v1.1 and a WiFi (802.11b), so those are your 2 angles to internet access. I've read somewhere that u can go online using Infrared, but with BT, it just isn't worth the hassle of IR





I just know the basics, so unfortunately, i cna't go into any detail. I have pointed out some questions u'd wanna ask a tech person should u decide to go through with this

short of going to a hotspot, you can create your own hotspot.. If u have internet access at home or the office, u can buy a router does wireless. The T|X uses the B (802.11) standard, but older laptops roughly around up to 5 years ago either support G standard built in or through a USB add-on card. N is the very newest. If you were to get a B router, that would ensure compatibility, but wouldn't be too helpful if u got a more modern laptop. Even if said laptop were backwards compatible with the B standard, u'd want at least G on your laptop.





AFAIK, the wireless routers with G standard should be backwards compatible with B standard. If this were so, u'd be able to get it for your T|X, and kill another bird with the same stone since u'd have wifi access for your laptop should u decide to get one. Just be sure to follow safety precautions with WL routers like setting up a password, and possibly encrption and firewall settings on the router.

For BT, u'd need a BT compatible cellphone. You'll want to ask if BT cellphones u have/r intersted in work with your T|X's BT version 1.1. Then u could get internet from your cellphone's radio/cell WL stream and transfer taht data to your T|X via BT. Getting internet through most cellphones is expensive, so be sure to get a data plan to get the best bang for your buck
