PQA's and local CGI stuff should be very useful to you then. Granted,
it's not as great as having an API to a wireless TCP network, but
then again if you need that, get Palm's with novatel modems. The
choice is yours. That's the beauty of the Palm platform... it's
getting kinda mature now and there's lots of choices to get things
done!
