One way or the other, people will find me. As I find my communications moving from paper to email and fax, street addresses mean little. I even download a subset of the corporate directory for easy access to my teammates. But it is nice to sit under pastoral oak trees occasionally, even if they exist only in the middle of urban sprawl. And while I'm watching the flies and mosquitoes buzz around my ahead, I know there are infinitely more waves of energy ready to immediately carry my thoughts from the memory of my Zaurus to the eyes and thoughts of people connected through this air by fax or email.
Connectivity hints Even the most connected of devices often have difficulties connecting.
The myriad of hardware options make it difficult to know just how to make your modem connect to another modem. CompuServe Companion's connection difficulties, as you might imagine, are often the topic of discussions on CompuServe's Zaurus forum. After reading the last issue of Pen Computing, CompuServe Zaurus Forum SysOp Bo Lorentzen, passed along a few tips on connecting the Z to CompuServe as well as how to keep forum messages from disappearing. Bo's first piece of advice was to set any modem to its factory default just for good measure. This can be done through a terminal window, or through the modem set-up string in CompuServe companion or other messaging applications.
