My lack of knowledge about WIFI on both pocket PCs and mobile phones however hindered what I could find about this in relation to these devices, however and searches on the matter seemed to come up with fairly inconclusive results, however suggesting that both pocket PCs and mobile phones could function in ad-hoc modes under some circumstances, although of which I am unsure. I'll keep looking

Once again, thanks again! It seems the idea is a bit fuzzy or more difficult than I first thought, but I still have hopes that it'll be possible

For the sake of simplicity? Buy a new device. See about a deal on a new/ish PPC phone.

For the older Jornada SH3, much like my Casio MIPS devices, it is going to be extremely difficult to find and buy WiFi and BT cards, then a compatible BT dialup capable phone. Plus I doubt...cost effective.

How about a simple no fuss/ old school cable solution? Jornada to Phone

and perhaps a wifi card when available?

While I haven't seen one in a while, there IS a cell phone modem that the 54x's sit in to use cellular services. I'm not sure whether they were analog or digital because it's fairly old technology with the way cellaphones have been improving. I've seen them on E-Bay. I don't know if they'll work on the 56x series or not. If I find one cheap enough, I may have to try it on one of my 568's.
