Hi,
I bought a WebPal thinking that my ISP or any other ISP will support. But it doesn't look like. I tried with Earthlink, ATT, AOL. Not with MSN.
Can I convert my WebPal machine to WebTV??.. it must be a software upgrade..
Thanks in advance,

Hi, you can read a related thread here:

WebPal keyboard is compatible with some WebTV units. But I am not familiar with the WebPal unit itself. If you provide a link, I can research it for you. Thanks.

Hi, give EarthLink a call. They have a help section on setting up your WebPal. But you do need an ISP account with them, so you will need to sign up before you can utilize their services.

I tried with earthlink by taking 45 days trial period.
I called Earthlink and talked to them a month ago.
When I said "WebPal".. they asked "What Pal"??.. Actually Earthlink people don't know about it. as they don't support nothing otherthan Windows and MAC. I had to give them the link and told them, look for yourself.
So, they said, well you have to try it on your own, looks like we don't support it anymore.. That was just a age old help page which is not removed.

Oh :( I'm sorry I don't know what to tell you. It seems the only pages I see for WebPal deal with hacking for use with Linux. I'm not sure how it would be used with WebTV. Good luck on your search.

Well thanks for you interest in helping me!. :).
I will try this weekend about installing Linux. If I successfully install Linux then it is easy to open the browsers. I worked on Linux little bit.
