You can find EudoraWeb at http://www.eudora.com. I believe it's free. Handspring is selling the Blazer browser for about $20, but it may not work for you as it sends all requests through a Handspring-operated proxy server. This seems similar to the Palm.net approach, and means that your intranet web server might not be visible/accessible if it's behind a corporate firewall. > Also, do you know the specific requirements for > building the PDA-only web page?

Today's WAP standard is going to be "obsolete" soon (as far as I know WAP 2.0 was recently ratified and has XHTML-based while WAP 1.x is WML-based). It's also very phone-centric; though there are some Palm-based WAP browsers (e.g., Neomar browser included in the Mobile Internet Kit from Palm). Most PDA browsers support a subset of HTML. I usually call it "the subset that makes sense" given the device limitations (deeply nested tables, for example, are unlikely to be useful on a 160*160 screen).
