1. A method for establishing a data communications session between a stationary terminal and an initiating remote device, the method comprising:

  • establishing a communication link through a short-range wireless technology between the stationary terminal and a proximate mobile device wherein the proximate mobile device operates within a cellular wireless network system;

    opening a listening port on the proximate mobile device to receive communications through a page-mode messaging service;

    receiving, at the listening port and through the page-mode messaging service, an invitation message from the initiating remote device, wherein such invitation message contains a network address and listening port related to the initiating remote device; and

    transmitting the network address and listening port received by the proximate mobile device to the stationary terminal though the short-range wireless technology, whereupon the stationary terminal receives the network address and listening port, transmits a response to the network address and listening port related to the initiating remote device, and establishes a virtual reliable connection with the initiating remote device for data communications.
