Other Technical Information About the Calendar System

Using a Palm with a Cell Phone

In case you'd like to try mail or calendar from your Palm, using a cell modem, here are instructions on Connecting to the Internet with a Palm and a cell phone.

The small screen interface

Some people have PDA's or cell phones with a browser builtin. If you have that, you might want to use the calendar. Unfortunately the normal calendar web interface is designed to work with a big screen. It also requires Javascript, which small browsers typically don't have.

For these reasons, we supply the Sun ONE Calendar Server small-screen interface. (SSL version). It has a very simple, small screen, and it doesn't use Javascript.

It can be invoked as

or preferably

https://rulink.rutgers.edu/cal/login.php3?uname=xxx&pwd=yyy

The ? and following arguments are optional, and should only be supplied if you consider your handheld or cell phone as fairly secure. I recommend using Qualcomm's EudoraWeb, as it will handle the SSL correctly.

If you prefer, you can go directly to the display for today's date by using

or to the list format by using
