Soap Services on CE?

I'm looking at ways to pass messages to a PocketPC. There are many out there, but I want to know them all for part of one of my projects. I'm not limited by the version, so Compact Framework 2.0 is fine. MSMQ for Windows Mobile 2003 is very exciting, but I am interested in also using web methods. The easiest way is to implement a TCPListener object, and listen for requests. With Sql CE, there is a not so apparent web server: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wceinet/html/wceinetWindowsCEWebServer.asp I am curious, because my boss found a CAB file in the Compact Framework 2.0 SDK, called: HTTPServer.PPC2003ARM.MS.PocketPC.CAB for which I can find no information! Ideally, I am looking for the simplest possible implementation of a SOAP listener to integrate into the application for PocketPC. Any help greatly appreciated!
