180 Chapter5 Customizing your Sony CLIÉ Handheld (Preferences)
Adding detailed information to a service template
If you are using one of the predefined service templates, you probably only
need to enter your user name and telephone number. If you are creating a
new service template, you may need to provide additional information to
your ISP or dial-in server. You use the Details dialog box to add additional
information to a selected service template.
To select a connection type
1
On the Network Preferences screen, tap the service field.

Tap Details.
The Details screen is displayed.

Tap the arrow V next to Connection type and select one of the
following connection types.
• PPP: Point-to-Point protocol
• SLIP: Serial Line Internet Protocol
• CSLIP: Compressed Serial Line Internet Protocol
Tip
If you are not sure, try PPP; if that doesn’t work, ask your Internet Service
Provider or your System Administrator for the correct connection type.

Tap the arrow V next to Idle timeout and select one of the
following options.
• 1 minute: Waits one minute for you to open another application before
it drops the connection.

• Never: Keeps your PPP or SLIP connection until you turn off your
