Interesting. I did a similar thing back in November of 2000. http://www.langelaar.net/projects/klmproxy/ I wrote it for Windows (sat in the systray), used FlexNet API to do the RF communications part. It was a TCP/IP proxy that could be used for telnet (web browsing too), ftp, pop, etc. I originally wrote it because FlexNet had no Windows network interface at the time, but then the new FlexNet came out that included a windows driver for networking, and I *abandoned* the project. Every so often, I think I should work on it again. > It worked remarkably well for text only pages ... Yes it did (does). IMHO - Not a bad way of doing it. > From my experience, routing IP over any other slow connected > low quality link does not work well. The overhead [snip] ... Noted. Thank you.
