Salve!

In Germany is the using of wap pages quite expensive¹
and unpopulare (You better by a news paper then reading
some wap pages) and I would use elinks on my server 
remotly instead of using a wap proxy, but I think a
wap browser would be interesting for some user :)

With atp-cache search and a look on freshmeat.net I
found only wApua:
http://fsinfo.cs.uni-sb.de/~abe/wApua/About.html

I installed it on my system (Debian) and try to use
http://wap.bahn.de - the wap page of the German railway,
but I couldn't fill in Station Name and Time... so
it was not successfully.

Searching for Zaurus "wap browser" let me find the Java
browser Wapaka 
http://www.digitalairways.com/daw/wpkaboutmidlet.jsp
not tested yet...

Do you know another wap browser?

Greetings,
rob


PS: Some GSM provider offers a GPRS data pack with e.g. 10 MB.
    I had once such a data pack, but the provider conted the
    connection as wap-click - every page count with 5 or 10 Cent!
    10 pages=more expensive than a coffe or a news paper!
    They argued this would be because I use an old browser...
    hallo? 
    OpenMoko will allows to use a VPN than you are free from
    such bad tricks...

    And BTW AFAIK every GSM-provider beside T-Mobile use a NAT
    or firewall so communication could be started with incomming
    connections - this avoid that someone send you traffic for fun
    and you have to pay for it.
