To overclock your Palm you can use a program called FastCPU. It will definitely speed up your Palm device but only on the internal memory. The SD card will still function at normal speeds :mad: As for making your own modem... let me know how you do it. I dont wanna pay $100 more just to go online.

Hi Guys,

I know this is an old thread but I just wanted to tell someone that I managed to use my Palm m130 with an old 28.8k modem last Christmas / New Year when I visited my mother in the UK.

All you need is a Palm SERIAL connector and a NULL MODEM. My old external modem has a 9-pin socket at the end of the cable (just the same as the socket on the end of the Palm serial cable), so my NULL MODEM was made from two 9-pin plugs and five short lengths of wire to make the following connections from one plug to the other: Pin 2 connected to Pin 3; Pin 3 connected to Pin 2; Pin 5 connected to Pin 5; Pin 7 connected to Pin 8; Pin 8 connected to Pin 7. THAT'S ALL! (I used two threaded stand-offs to bolt the two plugs together and some insulation tape to hide my rather ugly soldering.)

As for software, I'm a whimp, so, I got a copy of AOL for Palm OS as everything is done for you - no problems! I just used the default phone number and, then selected the most appropriate phone number from the local list. I particularly liked being able to tap-out my emails in front of a warm fire (it did actually snow whilst I was there) and then connect to AOL to collect my emails and send my replies - very efficient.

By the way: The NULL MODEM was found on a German WEB site (I think), so, all credit goes to them. Of course, I accept no responsibility for any damage that you may cause to your PDA! All I know is that the set-up worked perfectly for me........ (if you only make those five links, I cannot see how you could possibly cause a problem but there again....)
