I’m thinking of having a go at exposing this out to a simple standalone app. Or
at least seeing how feasible it is to do so.
One key challenge. Sending full from and to calls in every message destroys the
usable ‘bit rate’ for any payload.
That said, it is definitely not universally legally compulsory to ID every
message. I wonder if something like sending last two letters of calls once
contact is established might serve the purpose of keeping track of who is
talking to who.
Hmmm.
