There's a thread on bugtraq right now (or it could be vuln-dev) talking
about the Nokia WAP gateway -- it's java so there should be no probs
running it on Linux (sloooowly) from the sounds of things. It may be
commercial though.
Note that you should use a firewall to block direct IP from outside to the
dial-in pool, otherwise a simple portscan will crash Nokia phones
apparently ;)
