+on Symbian platform. The information stored in the Comms Database
+is used to configure components in the comms stack. Information such as connection
+preferences, account settings and some of the linkage between components can
+be set in the comms stack. The configuration data is stored in records in
+database tables. The data also has data schema to define the tables. For more
+information and a full list of the settings in the Comms Database, see the <xref href="GUID-58089281-9DD0-502D-8DFD-831E7BAA931E.dita">Reference</xref></p><p>The
