Ed thanks for all the useful info. Do you mean the WRT54G will not be configurable to log in to e.g. a hotel's login page, if I modify the firmware to add the bridging function? We have two applications in mind: - My friend the clueless point-and-drool Mac user, who often travels and takes his Motorola ATA with him to receive Vonage calls forwarded transparently from his NYC residence - My own occasional situation with my early-days Cisco ATA (I was one of the early Vonage customers--they no longer use the Cisco model ); at home I connect it to my PBX so calls from the USA ring into my home PBX here in Bangkok. Occasionally I might travel with it. OS/2: a separate issue for me. Let us know what you get from keeping after the SJPhone people. There is a Java-based IP phone service which works on OS/2; I have the details lying around here somewhere; it was tested some time last year.

If so that may be a simpler solution for you. >>Cheers/2>>Ed. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <os2-wireless_users@2rosenthals.com>.
