I happened to save the instructions in my clipboard and attach the req. files here...thanks again to the members who posted them:

CF Modem Installation Instructions
Hello all,

I have been requested by our favorite Brazilian, Pelaca, to put together a step by step instruction set on getting a CF modem to properly function in an NX. Here goes.....

1. Obtain an NX (preferably via legal means)

2. Obtain a compatible modem. I use the AmbiCom which I purchased at Best Buy (click here)

3. Install the attached files contained on the two following posts. The first file (cfutils.zip) contains the Japanese version of the modem drivers. The second file (cfutilityen.zip) contains the modified English language file that Pelaca has spent many hours on.

4. After installation, perform a Soft Reset of your NX by pressing the small button on the back of your unit.

5. Locate and execute the new program "CF Utility" in your launcher (hint: the icon has a picture of a hammer & screwdriver)

6. Insert your new modem into the CF slot on your device. The screen should read:

Brand: CF
Product: 56K Modem JATE

7. Return to your launcher and run your system PREFS utility. Select "Network" in the dropdown menu (upper right).

8. Within Network Preferences tap the dropdown menu next to Service and select the top entry (AT&T). Next, tap the dropdown menu next to Connection and select "Edit Connections".

9. Within "Available Connections" select "New"

10. Within "Edit Connection" replace the name "Custom" with the name of your modem (i.e. AmbiCom, or maybe Pete). Set "Connect to:" to "Modem". Set "Via" to the top setting of "Analog Modem (gibberish)". Tap "Ok" then tap "Done"

11. Now you are back at the "Network Preferences" screen. Replace the service name to your ISP name. Enter your ISP info under "User Name", "Password" & "Phone #". Under the "Connection" setting, select the modem name you entered in step 10 (should be the bottom choice).

12. Connect telephone line (analog) and tap "Connect"

Simple eh?

*dreams of having an NX...*

I got a NR70, anyone want to trade for some cash and an NX60. :)

[gambit_b]

i tried this and it locks my nx up when i try to start the cf utility.

[buzzmccowan]

I saw your post and installed the drivers on my NX even though my modem is on it's way in the mail...When I hotsync'd all the files in it automatically asked me to reset which I did. I am able to access the CF utility without problem. Did you install the english version?...I only installed the files included in the cfutilityen.zip above not the other zip. Good luck

Yep it will if you don't have a valid CF card in the slot, currently a recognized modem or the PEGA-WL100 WiFi card.

[gambit_b]

thanks for the info. i was using a targus modem. do you know what brands will work. also, it locks up as soon as i click on the cf utility even if there isnt a card in it. is that normal? i installed both the cfutil and the cfutilen. was that wrong? thanks

Yes, the lockup is normal if there is no valid card/driver installed! The only modem I remember is Ambicom(Best Buy?), the rest were lost in the database corruption. Leggnet or Pelaca are two posters who maybe able to give you more info.

[Ulisses Hirata]

I remember that Pelaca posted one thread that he was telling wich drivers nedeed to install from all those drivers that we have on the two files, anyone knows wich one are real necessary ??
And what is the installation order ??? Japanese first , then english ?? Or just english is enought ?? I installed the files and got my clie frozen and i nedeed to restart it.

Any help ?

You have to install... the "CFUtilityen.prc" then the "CFNULLinf.prc", "CFmodeminf.prc" and "CFmodemvdrv.prc"...
In the "cfutilityen.zip" you can found the needed files...

The TDK, KAGA, Billionton are supported by Sony but the Princeton and Ambicom works too...
I'm working on the Xircom now with no success for now...

[mschluss]

Yay!, Pelaca. It is good to have you back!!!!

[Flyed]

Thanks so much to buzmccowan and Pelaca.
I'm so grateful. I am now able to work with my AOL for PDA.

The posted instructions worked quite well. They were a little confusing to me a few places so I took a couple of chances. Here follow the questions I (as a brand new Clie user) had...

The instructions do not state exactly where to install the two zip files or if they need to be unzipped prior to loading onto the handheld.

I found that, using the palm software, the files needed to be uploaded to the "handheld".

I only had to load a total of four files, all from the from the unzipped CFUtilityen.zip file.
CFUtilityen.prc
CFNULLinf.prc
CFModeminf.prc
CFModemvdrv.prc

Hopefully this will help another "newbie"

I have a Viking CF modem I will try with this method. I also have a Socket CF Digital Phone Card that connects to my cell phone. I tried getting this to work, but it failed. Do you know if this would be possible because I would love to go wireless with my cell in areas where I am not around a WiFi connection? Thanks for your work on the CF modem drivers.

[Flyed]

Sorry, I do not know the answer to your question.

[jpattigr]

I have downloaded the files and installed a Billington modem and all is well.
BUT, My ISP requires the domain name along with the username and password, Is there any way of including this that my conection will complete?

Thanks,

jpattigr

[fbclie]

I tried all of the steps in each of the posts using a Targus CF modem. Locks up Clie. I'll keep checking to see if anyone finds a solution for Targus. Thanks for the posts.

[fbclie]

Tried with Targus CF Modem and it locks up the Clie. Good luck with other brands. I am amazed that I can't connect to the internet with my 600.00 PDA and need to also drag my laptop along with me on travel.

There's someone selling this modem cheaply online:

http://www.pretec.com/index2/product/Mobile_peripherals/CompactModem.htm

Will it work? Hope to get a response (Pelaca?) before I buy it!

Thanks!

If I remember well... someone try it, and doesn't work...

[clieboy]

So it means that I shouldn't buy it? Any chance you may be working on the driver? Sorry, don't mean to trouble you, but just asking! Thanks!

Thank you very much for replying. I will look for one of the compatible brands then!

I don't remember seeing the CF Library File (CFLib.prc) before applying the latest NX Update from Sony.

IF CFLib.prc is newly added, is this what NX CF Drivers developers are looking for? Interesting!

Otherwise, if that is just an update to the existing CFLib file, I am wrong about my assumption.

What do you think, Pelaca? or dmp? or any CF Driver developer out there?

[JJB]

I have a Targus 56k v.90 analog modem which I have used successfully on my NR70V using the Sony communications sled ( CF70).
I have tried using the utility mentioned in this thread on an nx70v without success. It will not recognize the modem. I also tried loading the CF70 drivers on the NX70V but that did not work either.
any thoughts?

The Targus modem is similar to the Billionton or Kaga Deshi but the manfid changes...
The Xircom (true serial) , Hawking (Winmodem) and Targus (Windmodem) doesn't work

The connection script is the chat between your computer and the computer on the ISP side...
Normaly you can modify the expected words and the response words...

[BEiermann]

I can't seem to dowload the two files necessary to utilize the modem. Can someone help?

Best Buys Price for Ambicom CF Modem is $69.99. FRY's ELECTRONICS Price is ON SALE NOW for $49.99 (Hmm....)

[Unregistered]

Is there anyway to adapt this to CF-WLAN cards too? $150 for sony's is just ridiculous.

[pharmer]

Hello,
I just tried to use my ambicom modem and was unable to sign on to my netzero account. It stated that it had an authentication error (0x1233)???, It signs on and then shuts down stating the error. I tried using AOL mail and calling in with the same error result.

I downloaded all the files Japanese and english and still no resolution.
Thanks

This could be the result of an incorrect user name and/or password.
Check your username on Network panel... may be is "username@domain" instead "username"

[Michael Quach]

Excellent! I'm going out to buy a Modem right now :)

[Austinlam]

Yes, thanks to buzzmccowan and pelaca (Who is from Argentina, not Brazil).

In order to download the files you need to be a registered member of ClieSource!! It's slightly complicated but can be done in an hour or so.

I found that I HAVE to use AT&T WorldNet. When I use Earthlink the modem doesn't even work, the "on" light never comes on. Then I use my regular Earthlink user name, password and phone number. I connected on the third try.

Now, if only the Micro Innovations wireless keyboard would support the NX series......

[buzzmccowan]

Hey Austinlam...I can only take credit for uploading the directions that another member wrote after the Cliesource crash. I happened to save them in my clipboard...whoever it was that wrote them deserves many thanks.
Cheers.

Has anyone gotten Netzero to work with the modem? I seem to keep getting the same message. I've tried both 'username' and 'username@netzero.com'. Neither seem to work.

The error 0x1233 is for invalid username or password....
When I say username@domain, domain is not exactly netzero.com... domain in this case is the user domain not the ISP domain...
Check with netzero help desk for the correct username and domain...

Anyone know the domain name for Netzero? I can't find it on their website anywhere, and they don't have a toll free help line I can call.

Thanks

[pharmer]

Thanks for the advice, Pelaca and others. I am trying to get a response from netzero. I will post their response when I hear from them.

[pharmer]

I just tried a phone jack in another room and a different phone cable and it is working. I had originally tried using the cable that came with the modem, assuming it was working. I guess when software is set up properly, check the hardware! duhhh!

Thanks, for everyone's help.

[Michael Quach]

And if you got it to work with netzero, what domain name did you use (if you used it at all).

Detailed instructions please !! :) I'm dying to get my internet connection to work.

[pharmer]

Sorry about the confusion...I was so excited about it working I forgot to say which connection. I was using AOL dial up. Still trying to get a reply from netzero. No luck w/ netzero.

Pharmer

[Michael Quach]

I finally gave up on NetZero and got an account with HighStream. They fully support PalmOS and only $8.59/month. I highly recommend it. I'm using it right now to type this post :)

Pelaca,
I as well as everyone appreciate what you have done. I just bought a Sprint CDMA "AirPhone" CF card that I use with my laptop. Any ideas if you can generate the drivers for this or maybe we all should apply pressure to Sprint to build a fire under Sony to release the necessary information. We are not speaking of memory expansion, so why should they care. It would enhance use/sales of the NX and NZ.

Please let us know your thoughts on this. Thanks.

Sorry, but for this we have to rewrite the drivers... I've no success with the modification for the standard modems (no conexant chipset)...

Pelaca, if the API has not been released, then how did you do it?

Reverse engineering... but it's a long way, and probably not success...

[akfreas]

Did you get it to work on your Clie?

I desist to continue working the past week end...
I'm very frustrated... more than one month working with no one success...

Ok I may be stupid, but I have a billington CF56R-BCT-DX modem. Have downloaded both files and installed all japanese files and then all english files within the two attachments..

delete the installed files and Follow this (http://clienx_cf_modem.tripod.com)

[Tinker2000]

thanks...Done that and nothing happens when i plug the modem in.However, it beeps when i take it out...

Does this mean it isnt supported?
thx

[pelaca]

Only for check.
Backup your CLIE and make a hard reset, then install the drivers and check if the modem are recognized... follow the instructions on the PDF for configure the connection...

[legs_ski]

I have installed the cfutility.

I can connect to my ISP, but after a while and this is random. NetFront will have a network timeout issue. Then I must disconnect and reconnect. Sometime it works and some time it doesn't.

I can always connect to my ISP, but it seems like I am loosing the connection.

Is there a tool, to ping a server?

And do I need to use a script for the dial-up, because currently I have nothing.

Thanks

Dear buzzmccowam

I purchased a Ambicom C F Modem and installed according to your instructions with the exception of selecting at&t my NX70 did not have that listing but it did have MSN and since that is who I have my service with I clicked on that instead. The rest went just like you said other that my user name I had to type inMSN/ and than my user name. When I click the connect button it says Dialing msn.com then sings me in and athuenacates that I have been singed in. But this is where things get stickey I do not get my home page or anything else for that matter. It acts like I have no Browzer. Is it possible that I have to down load a browzer? I am diffinatly connected with my ISP because I can listen to the connection on my speaker phone. Any help or sugestions that you would have for me would be greatly appreciated Wilmot_D@msn.com

In your Installation CD you have, Netfront (browser) and CLIE Mail (email program)

Is there a better init string besides "AT&F"? It works , but perhaps I don't know a secret.

"AT&F" (reset to factory settings) normally is enough

Dear buzzmccowam

I purchased a Ambicom C F Modem and installed according to your instructions with the exception of selecting at&t my NX70 did not have that listing but it did have MSN and since that is who I have my service with I clicked on that instead. The rest went just like you said other that my user name I had to type inMSN/ and than my user name. When I click the connect button it says Dialing msn.com then sings me in and athuenacates that I have been singed in. But this is where things get stickey I do not get my home page or anything else for that matter. It acts like I have no Browzer. Is it possible that I have to down load a browzer? I am diffinatly connected with my ISP because I can listen to the connection on my speaker phone. Any help or sugestions that you would have for me would be greatly appreciated Wilmot_D@msn.com

mmm... you have to be more clear...
You don't have any browser installed? or your CLIE connect to MSN, but no packets in or out?

Does anyone have the connection lock-up.

Sometimes, I needed to disconnect and reconnect to be able to surf on the web using Netfront again.

Is it my ISP or is the drivers?

Thanks

Dear Legs_ski
The only problem I have with getting disconnected from the internet is if I let my Clie run untouched for two minutes, then it goes into the sleep mode and disconnects so I have to reconnect. The only problem that I am having is with my E_Mail as soon as I send a message it Lock's up on me. But I am working on that. If anyone out there has a suggestion on how to make the right connections from clie mail work I would appreciate some hep Wilmot_D@msn.com.

Got ambicom modem today. I have installed all the drivers, etc. listed in this thread. CF utility recognizes card okay, setup okay, but no light. Also, no matter my login setup, i get "Error:modem not found (0x1106). I don't know what this means. Is there somewhere I can type an AT command to check modem, etc. Any ideas? I also have eruware drivers installed. Modem does not dial.

Buzzmccowan,

 

HELP!!! I registered and subscribed to this site but cannot download the two files for the CF modem installation! Can you Help me out here? Not sure why except maybe it's because I'm on my work computer (Government) can you send them by email?  jshepherd61@erols.com

 

Thanks

[aussie_nx70v]

im also very interested in using the clie to surf (if its good/fast enough) the net and send/receive emails via my ISP.

am i correct in saying the only two modems that look like working are te billionton and the ambicom modems?

which one is better/fastest more reliable?

[nlode]

Those two and there is one from TDK.
The Princeton that Brando sells works (it is made by Billionton), but it seems it is sold out...

[Michael Quach]

Go with the Ambicom. It works very well. I haven't had any problems with it.

[ungerware]

Can you help me? I have downloaded Pelaca's software, purchased the Ambicom modem. Reset the machine. Clicked on CF Utility and get nothing but Card N/C opposite Brand and Product on the CF Utility screen.

Any advice?

Thanks.
