An unsung hero: using the PalmModem (continued)
Hanging up an active connection is also not discussed in the documentation. If the Idle Timeout setting in Connection Preferences is set to Power Off, which is the default setting, this is very easy to do. Just press your Palm device's power button to shut off the device. Don't be alarmed that your Palm unit doesn't immediately shut off. It will first send commands to the modem to terminate the connection. After a short delay to execute the commands, your Palm device will finally shut off.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the PalmModem is a great little low cost hardware accessory for the Palm device owner. It'll allow you to send and receive email, surf the Web, use PQAs, and perform remote HotSync operations wherever you're able to connect to an analog phone line. Not a bad deal for only $99!
