GPRS IP Networking

[Bastian Muck]

What about the Email-Push-Service. I don't know if this is provider 
specific. T-Mobile Germany offers this service for about 5 €/month with 
free transfer. I don't know how it works, but the name makes me think, 
the provider "pushes" the mail to the phone.
Any ideas?

Greetings Bastian
