Wapmess is a system that runs on any webserver (using PHP and MySQL) and enables the webserver-admin to set up a WAP-ICQ portal. This means that anyone with a mobile-phone (PDA or similar is also fine) that supports Wap 1.2 or higher can use the webserver to connect to an ICQ-account and send/receive messages via ICQ.

The goal with this project was to make it possible for almost any mobile-phone to use ICQ and be able to communicate with other users! One other goal with this project was to lower the GPRS-traffic in the phone and make the ICQ-ing cheaper. A third goal was to make this service as easy to log-in to as possible. Anyone tried to fill a log-in screen with a WAP-browser should know what I mean. With Wapmess all you have to do is to write your login-url ONCE and then bookmark it in your phone, to make it available fast.

The program supports protocol ICQ 8.0 (Tested with ICQ 2002, ICQ 2003, ICQ Lite etc.)

Requirements:
As of now the system should work on any Win32 webserver (We want help to develop a *nix working version of Wapmess aswell)
MySQL 3.2 http://www.mysql.com (or higher)
PHP 4.3 http://www.php.net (or higher. Must have support for CLI)
