heya,
Got a quick OT question in regards to software and hardware/cables  
available to deliver content (in development stages) to handsets thru  
data cables rather than a staging environment open to the outside  
world...

  I am in a hard position as the company I am contracting for now has  
VERY tight restrictions on our network, and the hardware solution we  
have that parses our html pages and delivers them to handset mobile or  
palmtop is behind the firewall... so the only way we can currently test  
our content is by hitting an internal IP and custom port.... w/  
emulators...

SO, my question is that using emulators is one way to test, but we want  
to also test the content on some mobile phones before we launch... are  
there gateways, servers, etc. w/ data cables for each kind of phone, so  
we can deliver the test content to the handset hardwired to the desktop  
machine (using some data cable)?

I would appreciate any feedback, as I have my hands tied as far as what  
software and hardware I can use... If there are solutions that exist to  
connect phones using a cable, and we can test the content that way,  
that would be the easiest for us to accomplish w/ our security  
protocols here at the company...

thanks again!

best,
jason.
