 How to make Compuserve classic working with the 720 ?
The problems in logging on to Compuserve (classic) are first that the initial log-on dialogue with Compuserve’s computer is carried out in 7-bit code, which Windows CE sees as garbled because it uses 8-bit code. The solution is to log-on manually – ugly but it works.  The second problem is that in order to use Compuserve’s POP mail system you need a second password – which must be different from your log-on password, and not all users know this.

 Setting up Compuserve on the Jornada 720

You’ll need to know:
  • your Compuserve numerical user name (the format is nnnnnn,nnn);
  • your usual log-on password;
  • your POP mail server password (this must be different from your log-on password, and must contain at least two numbers – to set this up,  <go>  >NPX-92 from your standard Compuserve PC CIM software and follow the instructions).
1. To set up the log-on
  1. Touch HP Dialup.
  2. Touch Service Provider, then New.
  3. Enter the name of the service provider (e.g., Compuserve), then touch next.
  4. Enter User name (nnnnnnn,nnn). Do not check either box or enter a password. Then touch next.
  5. Enter the usual Compuserve phone number (for the UK it’s 0845 080 1000). Then touch next.
  6. Select the modem type you want to use. Then touch TCP/IP.
  7. Check Service-assigned IP address. Check Use software compression and also check Use IP header compression.
  8. Make sure that Server-assigned address is not checked.
  9. Enter into Primary DNS 149-174-211-5. Enter into Secondary DNS 149-174-213-5.
  10. Make sure that Primary and Secondary WINS are empty, and that Use SLIP is not checked. Touch OK.
  11. Touch Modem settings. Check Use terminal window after dialing. Make sure the other two boxes are not checked. Touch OK.
  12. Touch next, then save.
2. To set up the email account
  1. Touch Inbox from the mail menu. Touch Services, Options, Add.
  2. Enter Compuserve as the Service name and make sure that the Service type is set to POP3 Mail. Touch OK.
  3. Enter into Connection: Compuserve. Enter into POP3 Host: pop.compuserve.com. Enter into User ID your numerical user name, nnnnnn,nnn. Enter into SMTP host for sending mail: smtp.compuserve.com. Enter into Return address your usual email address (e.g. myname@compuserve.com). Make sure that Password, the Save password checkbox, and Domain are all empty. Touch next.
  4. Check Send using MIME format and (if you want) the Only display messages from the last nn days box. Touch next. Touch Finish.
That completes set-up!


Using Compuserve on the Jornada 720

 Logging-on
 (This makes a connection to the Internet using Compserve as the ISP)
  1. Connect the Jornada to a phone line, or line up the IR ports of the Jornada and mobile phone.
  2. Touch HP Dialup.
  3. Touch Dial.
  4. After a short time the terminal screen should appear. Press <enter>.
  5. At the prompt Ho T N  e [1], type (ignoring what appears on the screen, it will be garbled) CIS then press <enter> .
  6. At the prompt U er_ D [2] carefully type (once again ignoring what appears on the screen, and using your numerical account name) nnnnnnn,nnn/NOINT/PPP:CISPPP then press <enter>. [3]
  7. At the prompt P  wor [4] carefully type in your normal Compuserve log-on password and then press <enter>.
  8. You will get a line of so of rubbish, a short pause, then more rubbish.  Touch OK (top right) to close the terminal.
  9. The HP Dialup dialog box should now say “connected”.  Touch Hide if you like.
You can now open Internet Explorer, or Inbox to send and receive emails.


Using Email
  1. After logging-on, as above - open Inbox.
  2. Touch Services and make sure Compuserve has a dot next to it – if it doesn’t, touch it.
  3. Touch Connect.
  4. You will be prompted for your Service Password – note that it needs your POP Email password, and not your log-on password.  Do not check the box to save the password.
  5. You can now use email in the usual way.  If you want to disconnect without leaving Inbox, touch Services, then touch Connect again.
  6. Quitting Inbox closes the email server automatically, but does not disconnect from Compuserve.
NOTE  that you need to close the connection to Compuserve manually when you have finished a session. Double-touch the HP Dialup icon (bottom left of the screen) to bring up the dialog box, then touch Disconnect.
