You can connect to AOL over three different networks:
AOLNet, SprintNet or GlobalNet. Check the set-up of
AOL on your desktop machine for the type of network you
are connecting to. Usually in the United States you will
connect to AOLNet.

Using the wrong network will not damage your organizer or your AOL account, but will prevent
you from connecting.

PocketFlash 2.0 has two modes of operation: an “online” mode and a “batch” mode. The Online
Mode looks and acts much like the version of AOL on a desktop computer, whereas Batch Mode
acts much like an “Auto AOL” session.

Online Mode may be much easier to use for many users and allows a great deal of flexibility in
interacting with AOL. Not only can messages be sent and retrieved, they can also be refiled,
ignored, and kept as new.

However, Batch Mode may be more useful for efficient access, especially when mobile. During
Batch Mode, PocketFlash connects only long enough to retrieve new mail and to send waiting mail.
Retrieved mail is placed in the “Incoming” folder so it can be viewed while not connected to AOL
via a phone line. Many users find this convenient: retrieve mail and carry it with you to peruse and
reply to at leisure.
