Can anyone please help me. I have a Motorola V3 and iPAQ PDA which I would like to use to connect to AOL on the PDA, I will also wish to connect to my ofice which I usually do via AoL as my ISP hence I want to get into Aol first on teh PDA and then into my netwrok at work
Welcome to Geekzone. To connect to AOL you need CSD, which is similar to dial-up, instead of GPRS. The problem is that very few operators provide CSD these days.
As to connecting to your office - do you use a VPN? This can be done via GPRS if that's the case.
Thanks, to be honest I am not bothered about Aol as much as connecting to my office PC to get e-mail on my PDA while away and check on my outlook calndar. I assume my V3 has GPRS? And that the server at work works on VPN? I have Geeks who I work with, what do I need to tell them to help me set it up?
You have to find out how is your connection to work... If it's through a VPN or just via any standard TCP/IP connection then you only need GPRS.
For VPN to work though you have to consult with your operator to see if you can get a non-NAT GPRS because most VPN servers don't work well with the NAT addresses handed out by operators.
