You can not connect the T3 via Bluetooth to a 802.11b network, these are
diffrent wireless standards with diffrent uses.

All of the SDIO WiFi cardds on the market today do not support PalmOS. I
suspect a political issue here since Sony has WiFi on their Palm Powered
devices. I've given up on waiting for this product, perhaps PalmOS 6 will
bring some sort of repentance.

To get IP on your Palm via BT what you can do is run a PPP server on a
computer which has BT and IP connectivity. Have the PPP server listen on
the virtual serial port that the BT adaptor is bonded to. Then setup a BT
to PC PPP profile on your T3 and connect. Works well but you are limited
to the speed of the serial port, not the full bandwith of the BT
connection. If someone knows how to make the palm do a full on TCP/IP
connection via BT Networking I would be intrested to know how.

Look around on the web for how-to docs on getting your palm to talk PPP
over BT. There are lots of them out there, Mocha PPP looks like the
defacto standard PPP server app for this process on Win32.
