Yes, but you'll need a server at the other end of the GPRS/VSAT links to split and merge your traffic, and some serious packet routing and tunnelling foo (the VSAT broadcast will mangle packet headers, so they'll need to be tunneled through).

I think I have one place left in my car at this point. I have two seats in mine -- Gabin is my only confirmed passenger at this point. I would need a ride too. I can come down to MG Road or any other specified location. How about the gate of Fireflies? ;-) But seriously, Koramangala, BTM Layout or JP Nagar are on my route -- any of those would work for me. -- b

Re: [silk] FoU camp - logistics
I'll be able to make it on the first day. Which means there is another car leaving from Jayanagar (close to Udhay's place). Can offer a ride to 3 people from that part of town. In fact, I would insist on getting someone to ride with me. I have a terrible sense of direction and it's no fun being lost alone. Venky, the Second.

Re: [silk] FoU camp - logistics
Just talked to Udhay. The plan is for people who need transportation and are close to that part of town to meet at Udhay's place. Will pick up people from there. Venky.

By other end you mean at the end of the VSAT provider ? I was hoping a combination of NAT and netfilter ... changing outgoing packet headers for the source address might have worked I had a strange phone-call with the VSAT provider just now... I called them to find out if they had done such a setup for anyone. At first, the guy told me it was illegal because you have to uplink through the government provider, then I told him my desired uplink was through GPRS provided by a government telecom operator. Fine, he said, then it would be legal.
