[BBLISA] Help with squid setup for Debian Linux

[Eric J. Hansen]

If I'm not mistaken, WAP requires a WAP proxy, NOT a usual HTTP proxy. (I'm
sure the two are similar, protocol-wise.)  I googled for "GPL WAP proxy" and
found
lots of stuff, including some HTML/WML conversion proxies, etc. You might
take
a look at http://tuxmobil.org/phones_linux_wap.html.
