Which computer are you referring to, the laptop with no working modem,
or the Macintosh with no working Web browser and not enough disk space
to install anything new.

So you're suggesting that I write both a WAP client and WAP server on
my Laptop, as well as a full HTML-to-renderedView function (basically
re-invent the innerds of NetScape/IE/Mozilla wheel)? Even if I went to
all that work, what good would it do me, with no way to move files back
and forth between InterNet-accessible Web space and my laptop?

And even if that ran on FreeBSD unix over a VT100 dialup, how would
that show me what the WebPage would actually look like on a cellphone?
If I just want to see what it looks like over VT100 dialup, I can use Lynx.
