How would your phone find the address of the machine once it boots off the USB, so you could access the web server? I presume UPNP can come to help here. Otherwise the appliance can try and encode the information with one of the following methods (with a matching app on the phone): - with a QR code on the screen, if it has one; - playing tones on the speakers, if it has one; - flashing leds (e.g. some USB keys have 'activity' leds) cheers luigi ___ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
