- QUESTION:
- WAP Resources
ANSWER: - Please read "What is WAP" as well.
Although we do not offer a gateway service, we can offer you some pointers on how to make your web pages 'come alive' thru wireless devices.
The programming language required to make web pages viewable on a wireless device is Wireless Markup Language (WML), an HTML type language which can be parsed in wireless device microbrowsers.
If you do not know how to code WML, a translator will be required to transform your static HTML pages into WML pages. There are several translator/gateway products on the market with few of these programs being both. Some companies that produce these are Oracle,IBM, Spyglass, Proxinet, EveryPath, and AvantGo. None of these programs are cheap, however the costs are expected to decline in the future much like products for HTTP have declined over time.
******Because of incompatibilities between these programs and the underlying software that runs on our servers we cannot install these programs for your use on the server.*******
There are, however, off server resources you can still use to "WAP enable" your web site. A few sites that we have found that offer free WAP/WML general information, translators, and gateway services can be found below:

***A free on-line gateway service that converts WML written pages for delivery to wireless devices.

***Provides a dynamic web page translation proxy.

****Comprehensive reference material for the Wireless Application Protocol including image translators, tutorials, developers tools, etc.
