 How to access site like Hotmail, Handango, etc... ?
Most sites ignore the "Windows CE" platform ID, but by changing the registry, you can fix it so servers will think you are running the full desktop IE4.1
Edit these two registry keys by removing the "Windows CE" portion in the value. Leave the rest the same.

Key[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]

Edit the "User Agent" value.
and key

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\User Agent]

The next prompt is "User ID:". Enter your Compuserve username like this: 70000,3040/go:pppconnect. When you get the password prompt, enter your password. Within a few seconds, the ppp connection is established and you can access mail, web, etc. Read also this article.
 Login script for EQUANT for Compuserve Classic users
Thanks Jake for submitting this script.

Since I live in Slovenia and have a Compuserve account (not CS 2000, but
Compuserve Classic), I needed to make a login script for EQUANT. EQUANT is the surcharge company that has access numbers around the world, and allows CIS users to get into their CIS accounts at 10 cents (U.S.) a minute. I only use EQUANT in an emergency, but the login script might be useful to someone else. This script works with Peter's Dialup Master, which is a great program. I owe a lot of thanks to Psion pro, Mike McConnell, who gave me a basic script to tinker with.

 Instructions on how to set GPRS on the 720
Read this document based on "Optus yesinfo Internet" (thanks Saip) and "Swisscom" services.
 I get a "A connection with the server cannot be established" error
The problem of error: "Cannot Connect to Server" is a known issue (this happend only with some Internet Service Providers, so if you do not have problems with your ISP, do not copy these files, however, I think even if you do not have problems, the files won't create a problem if copied) - There is a fix

Simply install the file provided here on your Jornada. This install will copy into the "\Windows" folder the file CSPRAS.DLL which is a new file and the PPP.DLL which already exists on your system, but should be replaced. Then perform a soft reset. Thanks Bill for these files and your call to HP support.
