Aha, distributed mesh network, I assume that means routing your traffic via other Winston devices. I assumed they would need a cloud server function, but I take it their “cloud” is a mesh of other Winston users.
I think Ooma started out that way, if you weren’t using your POTS line, it would route other Ooma users calls through you. But they transitioned to a conventional VoIP model.

I don’t see how this thing can work, unless it does the PPPoE and essentially takes the place of the router. When he called them, of course the told him that his ISP needs to “open ports”. https://winstonprivacy.com/ Of course, the customer is also an Applehead. -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com <mailto:AF@af.afmug.com> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
