PDAs, Cellphones, Wireless I own 3-4 PDAs and yet my favorite one remains the legendary PalmV. There is something about its design & looks that makes me feel nostalgic of another tech era. As much as I enjoy using the PalmV when away, its lack of direct internet connection capability is bothersome. The only way I can directly connect to the net with it, is via a modem. Enter Pegasus III: The smallest modem of its kind today, able to serve both via infrared and a serial port. This is a modem that's supported by most PDAs, PC, laptops and virtually every operating system out there.

sony vgn-u71

seems perfect for something like the sony vgn-u71 since it doesn't have a pcmcia slot for something like an air card, or bluetooth (to connect using a cell phone). love the vgn-u71 it rocks!

we actually use their industrial modems in the production line and they are very good. I would expect the same for their infrared line...very sturdy and flexible but you're right on the spotty documentation.

3 - 4 PDAs

I'm not sure I understand how Eugenia can "own 3 - 4 PDAs." Well, which is it?

3 and a half. The fourth is my husband's but I do get to play with it. ;)

-1 PDAs? ;)

What do you use it for?

I've been on broadband for so long I don't even know if anyone in western Canada even offers dialup access any more... in any case, what do you this modem for and what software do you use (to access the internet?).

Most mobile phones have IrDA modems built in, and that's much more in the spirit of a PDA anyway....

I really read Pegasos III and go very excited, then I saw the word "modem". ;)

Most of them do. And most DSL subscription gives you something like 10h on dialup in case something goes wrong. Bell and Rogers do it.

dialup
