I don't think Steven really meant that it doesn't make sense. I think he meant that it isn't practical. I've read that latency on GPRS connections (even on the faster AT&T EDGE and Sprint VISION networks) is somewhere around 600 ms. I've never personally measured it, but I have used a Treo 600 on the T-Mobile GPRS network, and I can tell you that that latency is WAY too high to make any real phone calls. 200 ms is about the maximum latency you can really deal with on a VoIP call, but even that is really too high. At 600 ms, your voice wouldn't get to the other party forever, and vice-versa. It might be useful as a Nextel-like walkie talkie device, but a real phone conversation would be painful. _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
