Network connection through Softick PPP

[NY in Tokyo]

I have succeeded in connecting Fossil/Abacus wrist PDA to the internet!!
Wrist PDA has no network files in its original ROM, so I installed the following files I got from the ROM for POSE (palmOS 4.1.2):

Network.prc
Network_enUS.prc
PPP NetIF.prc
PPP NetIF_enUS.prc

After getting these files from ROM by "Export Database", I changed "Copy protect" and "Read only" attributes using PRCedit, and then installed them by hotsync.
(PRCedit is here: you need old version (ver.1.0 beta))

Now you can see "Network" in preferences panel, can get connection to the internet through Softick PPP via USB cable, and can use mail clients such as PaPi-Mail!!

ps1. Files you need are here: these files are already non-copy-protected so just do sync to install them.

ps2. You can go to the internet via infrared modem. Settings are as follows:

1.Select Connection:Infrared

2.Open Details...>Script... and input the following lines:

*Send:ATZ
*Send CR:
*Wait for:OK
*Send:ATDT12345678 <-phone number
*Send CR:
*End:

Why? --- I am just curious, such a small screen, no color .... Hmmm ... It is cool though if anything.

I thought about sth like this some time ago! Finally someone who proved it works! Congrats. I will mention that on TamsPalm as soon as possible!

BTW, I would install some more network files to really be able to use TCP-IP. I bveleive that you will need the following libraries:

I was just curious about how to remove the "Copy protect" and "Read only" attributes from the files. I've exported the files, and downloaded PRCedit, but I'm afraid I'm at a loss as to how to go about it. If either one could help, I'd greatly appreciate it. Please reply to the post or email me at donvalor@gmail.com. In the meantime, I'll continue to search for more info, maybe a tutorial. Thanks in advance.

Hi, DonValor, sorry for my slow response.
You need an old version of PRCedit: maybe ver. 1.0 beta or something.
This version can be downloaded from this site:

I have just found the way to go to the internet through an infrafed modem.
The settings are as follows:

1.Select Connection:Infrared

2.Put the following lines in Details...>Script...

*Send:ATZ
*Send CR:
*Wait for:OK
*Send:ATDT12345678 <-phone number
*Send CR:
