Using Other Communication Devices 
During synchronization via USB or serial port, the PC Connect cable 
must be connected to your host PC. However, if you are using the 
serial PC Connect cable, you must disconnect the serial cable before 
using the internal modem, IR port, or a network card in your 
MobilePro. 
Connecting Remotely 
In addition to using your MobilePro as a companion PC, when you 
travel you can connect by modem directly to an Internet service 
provider or a network remote access server, to get e-mail and to view 
web pages. 
See Chapter 5, “Setting Up a Remote Connection” for details.
