The Ax can do a lot & we just don't know yet of it's capabilities under 2003. Keep tuned & you will find out.

are their any graphic programs that are compatible with ppc2003 such as macromedia fireworks or adobe photoshop?

I've seen modems with a USB interface. If that's all you have, you'll have a hard time connecting your Ax. But a lot of these modems have two interfaces - one USB and one Ethernet (looks like a slightly oversized phone connector). With Ethernet, you can get an Ethernet CF card and hook up through a cable.

A better way to go is to get a wireless router. You hook the modem up to the router. Then you connect your desktop to the router through an Ethernet cable, and get wireless cards for your laptop and Ax. Now you can be on the net while you're anywhere around your house. It's amazingly cool.

Most new computers come with an Ethernet connection built-in. Older computers will require a NIC (Network Interface Card).

Idruna Photogenics is very good and contains many of the features of photoshop. Its pretty close really. Pocket artist is good too.

burns i have a setup on my windows xp pc that allows broadband internet access on
the axim.
You will need to have your axim and modem both connected to a seperate usb port, plus internet connection sharing must be set up to run as the host on your pc.
then it should work just click on internet explorer and start browsing
