Palm question

So Angela’s parents were staying with us this weekend, and her dad brought his Palm with him. Now, ordinarily he uses this to sync notes and other things and he hasn’t, in the short time he’s had this one, made any attempts to use the built-in wireless. Since we have wireless running around the house, we thought it would be a good opportunity to show him how to use it. Only one problem, that took some time to figure out, the Palm’s default settings are to use a VPN connection. The only way to get it to connect to our wifi network was to go through a number of option screens until I finally found the option to disable VPN. What’s up with that? Is that a default Palm setting or something specific to this manufacturer? And why is it a default? Just the curious ramblings of a non-Palm user..
