Using bFIND from bSquare
With bFIND you can search for a word or text string in any
database, file, filename, or e-mail message stored on your
HP Jornada. Simply enter the characters you want to search
for in the initial bFIND dialog box, and bFIND retrieves all
occurrences of that string. bFIND is integrated with existing
programs, so, double-tapping one of the search results within
bFIND launches the program in which the string was found
and opens the document containing that search string.
bFIND includes default script files for the standard
Windows CE programs, databases, and file types. These
script files help bFIND interpret search results and drive
other applications to complete the searches that are started
within bFIND. You can search any or all of the following
areas:
•E-mail messages
•Contacts, Appointments, and Tasks databases
•Other databases (Pocket Access databases, for example)
•File contents (including Pocket Word and Pocket Excel
files)
•File names (searches files and folders)
•bFAX packages
To start bFIND
1. On the Start menu, point to Programs, point to
Accessories, and then tap bFIND.
For detailed procedures about using bFIND, see online Help.

Deciding how and why you want to connect
The method you use for sending and receiving your e-mail,
browsing the Internet, and accessing other remote re-
sources depends on your goals and situation. Do you:
•Need access to personal (non-corporate) e-mail and the
Internet?
•Need access to corporate e-mail and network services
when you are on the road or out of the office?
•Need access to corporate e-mail and network services
when you are onsite at your company?
•Have more than one e-mail account (for example,
personal and business)?
•Want access to your CompuServe™ mail?
Your answers to these questions will help you determine
which equipment you can use in combination with your
HP Jornada to keep in touch online. The following illustra-
tion depicts the different solutions to your online needs.
Which connection options are right for you?
For explanation of some of the terms used in the descriptions that follow or in the HP
dialup application, check the glossary at the end of this User’s Guide.

Accessing personal e-mail and the Internet
If you want e-mail and Internet service only (with no access
to a company network), you will need:
•An installed modem—If you have the
HP Jornada 680, you have an internal modem, so you
are ready to go. If you have the HP Jornada 680e, you
can choose from a variety of available PC Card modems.
(For more information about compatible PC Card
modems, go to the HP Jornada Accessories page on the
Hewlett-Packard Web site at 
www.hp.com/jornada.)
•A PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) or SLIP (Serial
Line Internet Protocol) account—An Internet
service provider (ISP) will provide you with important
information, such as a user name, password, dial-up
telephone number, server names, and so on.
•A dial-up connection set up on your HP Jornada—
HP dialup makes this step easy.
•Access to a telephone line—You can connect to an
analog telephone line with your HP Jornada 680. Or, if
you have the HP Jornada 680e, you can connect to the
telephone line supported by your PC Card modem.
If you use the HP Jornada 680, you must use an analog telephone line to connect your
modem. Connecting to a digital telephone line can damage your modem.
Installing and configuring a modem
The HP Jornada 680 has a built-in 56K V.90 modem for
easy communication, so no installation is required. Note
that the UK version of HP Jornada model 680 does not
support certain dialing properties. The built-in modem on 
						

							90  |  HP Jornada 680/680e User’s Guide
this model does not detect a dial tone before dialing. By
default, the Wait for dial tone before dialing box is
checked. The modem will dial even if there is no dial tone.
It also does not support the pulse dial option. The modem
dials using tone dial only. By default, tone dialing is
selected.
The HP Jornada 680e supports a variety of available PC
Card modems. (For more information about compatible PC
Card modems, go to the HP Jornada Accessories page on
the Hewlett-Packard Web site at 
www.hp.com/jornada.)
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions included with the
PC Card modem to install and configure it for use with
your HP Jornada.
Getting an account with an Internet service provider
To access the Internet and e-mail, you will need to contact
an ISP to set up a PPP account. SLIP accounts are offered
by some ISPs instead of PPP accounts. Your HP Jornada
supports the use of SLIP as well as PPP.
Your ISP will be able to give you all the configuration
information you need to connect your HP Jornada to the
Internet and e-mail service. Be sure to note the following:
•Your account user name.
•Your account password.
•Telephone number of your ISP modem.
•IP and DNS addresses, if necessary.
•Your e-mail user name or ID. (This may be the same as
the user name for your ISP account.)
•Your e-mail password. (This may be the same as the
password for your ISP account.)
•The POP3 or IMAP4 host name of your ISP.
•The SMTP host name of your ISP (if required by your
ISP).

Setting up a dial-up connection to your ISP
After you have established an account with an ISP, you can
set up a connection on your HP Jornada and connect to the
Internet and your e-mail whenever you want. To make this
configuration process easier, use the HP Jornada dialup
application. HP dialup leads you through the process of
configuring your connections, including:
•Setting up a connection to your ISP.
•Setting up an e-mail service (if you choose E-mail
service as an option).
•Setting up a Web service (if you choose Web service as
an option).
•Setting up a dialing location.
The following sections describe the process that HP dialup
will lead you through and the type of information you will
need to provide.
ISP connection
The first section of the setup program allows you to save
and name your ISP connection. You can create more than
one connection (for example, one connection to your corpo-
rate network and one to your personal ISP). Choose a
connection name that will make it easy to determine which
connection you want when you are ready to dial up. At this
point, you will also complete the following tasks:
Choose E-mail and/or Web service—You can choose
one or both options. Most ISPs offer both e-mail and Web
services.
Choose Typical or Advanced setup—Typical setup will
automate most of the connection configuration by using
default settings. Advanced setup allows you more control
over setup options. Typical and Advanced setup options
are offered at the beginning of each stage of the setup
process: ISP service setup, E-mail service setup, and Web
service setup. 
						

							92  |  HP Jornada 680/680e User’s Guide
Input ISP information—This includes the information
you collected from your ISP, such as the dial-up telephone
number and IP, DNS, and WINS address settings. Many
ISPs automatically or dynamically assign both IP and DNS
addresses. If your ISP does not assign these automatically,
you should clear the Server-assigned addresses option and
type the addresses.
When you enter the IP address, you can also choose to use
SLIP if your ISP uses this protocol. PPP is the default
protocol, but SLIP is supported as well.
You also have the option to choose software and IP header compression options. Ask your
ISP if these options are recommended for your account.
E-mail service
If you choose to configure an e-mail service, HP dialup will
prompt you to enter the following information:
UserID and password—The user name (UserID) and
password you use to access your e-mail account may be the
same as the user name and password you use to connect to
your ISP. However, some ISPs assign a different name and
password for this service.
Service type—Your ISP may use POP3 or IMAP4 for
receiving mail. In addition, some ISPs use SMTP (Simple
Mail Transfer Protocol) for sending messages. This is an
optional setting; refer to your ISP to find out if this applies
to your configuration.
Settings—You can choose a variety of E-mail service
settings. If your ISP supports MIME (Multipurpose
Internet Mail Extensions) encoding (POP3 servers only),
you can select an option to allow binary files, such as
graphics and audio files, to be sent as attachments to e-
mail messages. You can also set e-mail services to:
•Disconnect after actions are performed
•Check for new mail at specified intervals 
						

							Chapter 6  |  Accessing e-mail and the Web  |  93
•Display a message or sound an alarm when new mail
arrives
•Only display messages from a specified number of
recent days
•Download only message headers (you can review head-
ers and decide whether to download message bodies the
next time you connect)
•Download full copies of all messages (you can review
messages and decide whether to download attachments
the next time you connect)
The default options represent the settings used by many ISPs. If you are not sure, or you
do not have guidance from your ISP, try the default settings.
Fill in your E-mail service information.
Web service information
If you choose to configure Web services, HP dialup
prompts you to set options such as your Home and Search
pages, AutoDial and Auto Disconnect, plus Advanced
options. Advanced options include enabling cookies,
caching (and cache size), and security settings.
Proxy Server—Typically, a proxy server is only neces-
sary if you are connecting to the Internet over a network.
When establishing a dial-up connection to your ISP, you
should clear the Use Proxy Server check box. 
						

							94  |  HP Jornada 680/680e User’s Guide
Home and Search pages—Set addresses for your Home
and Search pages using this option.
AutoDial and AutoDisconnect—These options allow
HP Jornada to connect and disconnect automatically from
your ISP when an application (such as Inbox or Pocket
Internet Explorer) requires access. Remember that your
device must be connected to the telephone line before a
connection is possible.
Pocket Internet Explorer appearance—Select the
appropriate check box to show pictures, play sounds, or
make the Web page fit in your device screen. Turning off
pictures and sounds can increase the speed with which
Web pages are displayed.
Advanced settings—Control some advanced Web service
features with HP dialup. You can enable cookies and
caching (up to 10% of available memory) and set security
levels with this option.
Advanced security settings include the option to select
from two versions of SSL (Secure Socket Layer) or PCT
(Private Communication Technology). These protocols
maintain the security and integrity of the transmission
channel by using encryption, authentication, and message-
authentication codes.
When you use HP dialup to connect to your ISP, the Web options you set in HP dialup take
precedence over any options you may have set in Pocket Internet Explorer.
Location information
Your location settings set your dialing options with respect
to your dialing location. These settings include the city and
state/province you are dialing from, country code, area
code, plus other dialing options. You will also be able to
save and name this group of settings as a profile, so that
you can choose among more than one profile when you dial
up. For instance, you can create one connection profile for
