I agree. Please also keep in mind that asterisk is anything but suitable for mobile, slow-cpu, low-memory devices with no FPU. I'd expect stuff like transcoding, echo cancellation, dtmf detection, etc. are going to take ages - if they can at all be done in realtime without proper fixed point arithmetic implementation. I'd also say that something like a SIP softphone is probably what you want. or even less than that: emulate a headset via bluetooth, i.e. have the neo act as a headset device for your PC based softphone application. -- - Harald Welte <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://openmoko.org/ ============================================================================ Software for the world's first truly open Free Software mobile phone
