It's straight TCP/IP NetLib socket code.
Symbol provides a number of interfaces in addition to that (checking which
wireless provider you're talking to, etc.), but it's still TCP/IP.
I should make this clearer, if I didn't already ... the 1740's require base
wireless transmitters called Access Points. They're not like wireless
modems like the Minstrell or Palm VII that provide you access through
cellular phone networks. You have to set up a local radio network yourself.
It's much better for e.g. corporate use than horizontal markets.
