question : how do you setup your own data service for treo650s

currently we (company) have a data plan through verizonfor our treo650s, but I was wondering if there was a way to setup our own data service, aka through one of our servers or even adding a new one. we have about 10 treos right now (looking to get more) and all have the $50 unlimited data plan, so if we could get rid of that cost or atleast lower it, it would be useful.

any help or information would be great.

Theoretically, you could provide some of the proxy services, or a mobile web site and other content, but you can't replace the data plan unless you own cell towers. The treo needs basic TCP/IP service -- an IP address, routing, and DNS -- and you can't provide that yourself unless you can control the tower-to-treo link, or provide it yourself.

Thanks,I wasnt sure if there was a way to configure the TCP/IP setting on the treo to use your own sever/setup or if you would still be able to "use" verizons network, as you can if u setup your own wap/wap2 service.
