I'll give some pointers to a few articles that may answer your questions...

1.Spb Pocket Plus will allow multiple windows on PIE, plus other functions
that you might like:

2.For a very portable modem, why not try a Bluetooth one? Zoom makes a very
good and interesting device:

3.Last, the Think Outside Stowaway Bluetooth Keyboard seems to be compatible
with h4350 (listed on their pages), and will give you more flexibility than
an IR keyboard:
