If you use a Palm VII you can't use sockets. You must use INetLib (as far
as I can tell at least). My socket program that gets data from a webserver
works on the emulator, but not on the VII.

goamerica or omnisky have modems and services that do this.

A minstrel modem - $99 with goamerica activation for a III or similar,
$300 or so for a palm V minstrel through omnisky.

$40-$50/month flat (check web pages for current pricing). Lower rates
if you don't send that much data.

Yes, but Palm sockets are a superset of Berkeley sockets (but there
are #defines for all the normal socket calls in the headers).
