Comments on: SWAP Allows Wireless Control of Servers

IBM's new Superior Wireless Applications (SWAP) connects the wireless Palms of ordinary employees as well as system administrators to custom applications on the company server. It lets users extract information from databases, tap into sales reports, place new orders, monitor Web traffic, or restart servers. SWAP works with AIX, IBM's version of Unix, and Palm VII's connected to Palm.Net. IBM says SWAP will be available by the end of the year, as a free download from its Alphaworks site. A beta release will be delivered sooner.

Maybe someone can help me out here. I am a IT Technician/Database Manager for a small college and I'm researching tools to help out our IT staff. One of the things I'm looking into is the future use of Palm devices with wireless connection to our intranet in order to respond to trouble tickets. So far I have not been able to find specific vendors of the software and/or hardware to connect palm/visor devices to our network so that they can view/edit databases that hold our trouble ticket information.

If anyone can share information in regards to this, please reply to me at my work.
