If you want to do straight TCP/IP on Palm devices you have about half a
dozen options:
- Standard Palm snap on modem (not wireless)
- Novatel wireless modem (uses CDPD)
- Qualcomm pdQ (uses CDMA cellular data network)
- Symbol device with 2.4 Ghz wireless LAN
- Cable or IR to a cell phone that does data:
- GSM phones
- CDMA phones
- soon IDEN phones
Just use the standard TCP/IP library and it will work on any one of these.
All of these are in neighborhood of 14.4Kbps except for the wireless LAN.
Some cost per byte, some cost per minute and some have no "per" cost at all.
