That's a great idea Matt! Might be a drain on the battery moving packets around though. Speaking of which, would anyone know if it would be possible to use a 3G USB dongle on one of these? I can't see why not. I have a friend here in Australia who users a Three (Hutchinson) network USB dongle plugged into his Ubuntu box. He tells me it uses PPP to dialin and it's as easy as pie. Can anyone shed some light on this?

Cheers,
Nick

It should be no problem. You just have to set up your routing tables correctly so that the desktop knows to route its traffic to the device, and the device knows to forward traffic to the cellular connection. It would be really handy to have an application to configure all of this automagically.

It might also be cool to have the Freerunner act as a wireless router! Instant (slow) internet anywhere...

        

Hi,
I'm was sitting in my workshop with the cable modem out and the local wireless not working correctly and so no internet access today, wondering if we can expect to use the FreeRunner/Openmoko as a cellular modem at any point. I haven't seen much mention of this. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Vinc
