Don't be so dismissive. It's an interesting idea. It may happen some day. But it would be pretty difficult at this point. The path would have to be pretty circuitous, the latency and odds of a dropped call would keep going up and up with each new link. I've never tried it myself, but I've heard that GPRS latency / QOS in general is very low and it would not be a satisfying experienice. It seems you'd have to use another phone to computer gateway, from the openmoko to the net, and potentially then a second one from the net to the rest of the plain old telephone network. You could have a land line at home be your own gateway... and that'd reduce some of the round trip times.
So the architecture could be: POTN <-> gateway <-ISP-> homenet <-ISP-> gateway <-GSM-> Neo1973 or, if you have your own land line for incoming: POTN <-> gateway <-ISP-> homenet <-lan-> [EMAIL PROTECTED] <-GSM-> Neo1973 and then when you got close to home you initiate a parallel connection from your home network to the Neo over bluetooth or wifi and [somehow] get that in sync and hand off: POTN <-> gateway <-ISP-> homenet <-bluetooth/wifi-> Neo1973 Sounds fun; almost makes me glad I still have a land line. -erik _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
