I've written a quick "spaghetti" perl code which enabled me to access
wap pages trough a wap gateway (I need to sneek out competitors ;)).

It's available at http://litux.org/bruno/wapclient if you want to give a
look, but I'm rewritting it in a less spaghetti way - WAP::WBXML,
WAP::WSP, WAP::WTP modules and so.

I had an unknown problem (I don't like wapforum documentation!) with CMG
Gateway and an application/vnd.wap.multipart.mixed page, although it
worked ok through kannel ;)
