Fawaz, We have an application that does just what you purpose. Our IP technology also uses CDPD modems, which are available from several manufacturers for certain PALM OS devices.
All that is required at the 'host' system is that you run an app that creates a socket and listens. Upon a 'client' palm opening a socket to the 'host' system, you would accept the client open. At that point, you can send any data either direction. No protocols matter, since this is your baby. EG - you don't have to learn HTTP or HTTPS. If you want encryption, you will have to implement it. On the Palm side 'client' you will again write a program that open a socket and connects to the 'host' via IP and Port number. We allow the user to set the Port number on the 'host' side. They will need a static IP (or a Dynamic IP that doesn't change often) at the host side. The 'client' software must have a setup area where the 'host' IP and Port number are stored. These will be used by the 'client' to connect to the 'host'. Again, the palm side can talk to the host anyway that you like. Our system compresses the data, encrypts the compressed data and sends using a proprietary protocol - one I made up. So the answer is YES. It is not hard, but most find that the LINGER problem on the PALM OS is the hardest nut to crack. Many posts to this forum have the solution.
