fobotcso: I'm using Eudora EIS Version 2.0 which you can download from <A HREF="http://www.eudora.com" TARGET="_blank">http://www.eudora.com</A> . If you are using a registered version of Eudora ver 5, then the EIS software is free, otherwise you will need to register it after the free (30 day?) trial period. EIS can also be used with other e-mail clients (MS Outlook for example) but then you need to purchase a special software conduit if you want it to synchronise with your PC e-mail software.
In practise, I don't bother with the synchronisation. I just tell EIS to leave all my e-mail on the server, and pick them up (and file 'em) there. And I have set up outgoing messages to .bcc to myself, so they also get read into my desktop PC.
I mainly use the Palm/cell phone combination to check for any urgent e-mail when I can't otherwise get to my PC (for example, I have just spent two days in a classroom, and no-one there even realised I was doing my e-mail during class!)
I notice you say that your cell phone has an internal modem - I hope that means it has an IR port - otherwise you may need a cable from your phone to your visor - not very elegant.
If you need any other help or advise you can e-mail me direct (see my profile).
BTW - I see you will soon be able to get a module (the Visorphone by Handspring at $299) that makes your Visor into a cell phone - that sounds Real Neat!
Have Fun! Let us all know how you get on!
