SIP will work client to client. If you get ad-hoc or mesh networking over WiFi and share your sip identity it should just work. Putting a nice, usable interface on it and making it secure will be more of a challenge. In a company I would not use that solution as it's a management nightmare. A SIP client connecting over WiFi to an asterisk server makes much more sense. _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
