Hello,
You definitely have a valid point, maybe a WAP interface for NoCat
could be a possibility... something to recommend to the NoCat group. Also,
Eudora InternetSuite is a html and SSL browser for the Palm (great price,
$0). I've used it, but 14.4 is simply too slow to do much of anything. I
only use the e-mail (Eudora's mail client supports SSL for SMTP and POP).
For those not familiar with WAP
