Question Internet access

I am new to the PDA world. I have a Dell Axim and I am about to switch my internet service to one of the local cable ISPs and get rid of my dial up.

How do I go about networking my Axim so that I can get online with the dvice?

What is the @$$$$ for setting this up?

Thanks for any help..

BW

if u want it to be wireless, get a Compact Flash Wi-fi card for your Axim ($50-150 depending on brand)- and get a wireless router ($30-100 depending on brand) for your Cable internet connection

Or you can put the broadband into your PC and share the connection from your PC using Internet Connection Sharing. Instead of buying a router/ap you'd buy a second wifi NIC for the PC. Not as secure but potentially cheaper.

Check my first post in the second thread in this forum. There are links to a "WiFi How To" and a "WiFi FAQ" that should be helpful.
