"after clicking start in the wireless modem option,, it shows error :-

" COM OPEN ERROR (8)."

if you get an error on the pda i would look if "auto recieve beams" was turned off

if it's on the pc i would remove all old hidden comports defined in devices

I 've unchek the incoming beam, I also has deleted all the old comport on ny PC, even i 've try it on other PC, but still the com port errors (8) appear. i've also hard reset my XDA ii but still have the same problem. finally I chek the device modem with some kind of tweeking app on my XDA ii, and there's only 4 modem I have on XDA ii,
1. Bluetooh Modem
2. Bluetooh FAX Modem
3. Serial Com (1) Modem
4. and 1 other thing I forgotten

but there is no USB modem built in my Hyma upgrade wm5...

Notes : i've use Bluetooh as a wireless modem and its works fine unless the speed is so... so... so... slooooooooowwwwww......
