can't you leave the default interface to be wireless on a wireless device, and
then write a little app that gives the user a chance to force the device goes
into wireline?

Subject: User interface question for specifying wired/wireless
I've got an application that needs to look something up on the internet
(let's say for example, I want to lookup an author/title given an ISBN).
Assume I've got an internet HTTP server out there that'll has the info I
need.
A user without wireless makes my life easy: I'll use NetLib with their
current configuration (phone #, Login, etc.).
In order to handle a user with a Palm VII who wants to use wireless, I would
code to the INetLib library.
On the other hand, that same Palm VII user who is in Nome, Alaska with a
Palm Modem dialed up to their ISP probably wants to use wired. In that case,
it appears that I can still use INetLib (specifying the wireline
configuration rather than the wireless configuration).
How do I decide which INetLib configuration to use? I can specify that I
want the default configuration, but I don't see any user interface that
allows the user to change the INetLib configuration.
Do I ask the user whether they want wired/wireless?
Do I *always* use wireless on a device that has wireless?
Do I do something else?
Thanks,
Neil
