Folks, the company that I work for produces software for the wireless
work environment, we have traditionally been utility (as in electric,
gas, water, etc) oriented, out in the field our products us a "MDT"
which is now days a laptop hardened or other wise for the field tech
to use. We have moved to a web based product, but when the field tech
is out of RF coverage the web brower talks to a internal web server on
the MDT so the tech can continue to do work.
We want to move this type of operation to a PDA, but so far they have
been looking at wince err WinCE, it does not have a web server that will
run on a PDA.
Here is the question, I have seen many very small web servers for different
LINUX functions does anyone know if a very small web server has been ported
to LINUX for the PDA's, if so that would be a very strong VERY STRONG, yea
verily VERY VERY STRONG reason for my company to move the field side to
LINUX
in order to be able to allow a PDA to continue to process field orders
even though the tech is out of RF coverage somewhere.
Any ideas, pretty please??
