Thanks for the tip. I remember reading about this project a while ago. "In plain language, we are working on a new kind of cellular network that can be installed and operated at about 1/10 the cost of current technologies, but that will still be compatible with most of the handsets that are already in the market. This technology can also be used in private network applications (wireless PBX, rapid deployment, etc.) at much lower cost and complexity than conventional cellular." http://openbts.sourceforge.net/ How mature is it, and is it cheaper than getting a GSM gateway + second GSM subscription? -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
