Hello David: I use my VN with Cox high speed data with much success. The short answer is NO, if you are not going to be using synchronization between your BN and PC, you will not need ActiveSync. You will need the low power either net adapter which plugs into your rear memory slot and provides for the attachment of an Ethernet connection to your router.
You will then need to create a directory of services entry in the email section to allow for connection. The settings are as follows: Service Name: your choice Modem: Network Connection Service User Name: your user name Service Password: your password email user name: leave blank if the same as above email password: leave blank if same as above Pop Server: the complete address of your incoming email server i.e. pop.central.cox.net SMTP server: the complete address of your outgoing email server i.e. smtp.central.cox.net SMTP authentication: Probably no, though check with our ISP Log on to network: NO Use software compression: Yes Use IP Header Compression: Yes Wait for dialTone: N All other entries leave at their default values unless otherwise instructed by your ISP. Plug in your adapter, turn your unit on and you should be connected. Go to your email menu and choose CONNECT. When prompted for "Service to call" select the service that you just created above. You should hear the BN go through it's usual connection scripts only somewhat faster. This same connection sequence can be used if you want to connect to the Internet. You do not need a separate Directory of service entry for Internet, they can share your highspeed directory of services entry. The only other thing I've noticed is that when the network adapter is connected, my VN tends to slow down on startup. It might be that its trying to connect to the router or just trying to deal with the network card in it's memory slot. I don't know if other list users have this same issue. I'm sure that some or all of this will change with the new 6.1 upgrades especially as they apply to wireless. hth Jeff Molzow [EMAIL PROTECTED]
