| 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? | |

| 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.

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.

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... | |

|  Successful CF56M-EZ driver install to CLIE NX70V/U
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"
