Well, I know it does the cradle thingy. I don't know if they have added WAP
or not.

Again, I am not sure, as I have not looked at or used the product for at
least a year now. But DB2 everyplace supports bi-directional updates of the
DB2 database on the palm through standard synch on the palm to the NT.

If that synch can be done over the modem, then... it should work.
