<x-tad-bigger>I’m wanting to push ringtones, sms, apps and images to my Sprint cell phone (or any cell phone) using Kannel Push Proxy Gateway. Is this possible? I have Kannel installed on my Linux box and it’s running.

Yes. But remember when doing wap push, you push the URL of the content, not the content itself
<x-tad-bigger> I’m about to run a test using the Nokia simulator software from another PC on my network but I would love to test it by pushing a test message or ringtone to my cell phone (sprint pcs).

It is indeed better to start with a simulator
<x-tad-bigger> Does this cost money to connect to Sprint or other cell phone networks? How is this done? Do I have to buy a modem for my server to connect to their networks?
</x-tad-bigger>
Using modem is a second test. It is good for light traffic, too.
<x-tad-bigger> What if I want to push content to a lot of users then is there a better solution than the modem route?</x-tad-bigger>
Sending wap push means sending sm, so you can ask direct connection to operator's smsc. This you can certainly do, if you
have lots of traffic
