It has an analog cell phone with data adapter (dialup access about 7200 max) and, when in dock, a wired phone line (dialup access about 23000 max -- nobody gets faster than that -- too much old switching equipment). I would like to replace both phones with a single wireless solution -- maybe a Verizon phone or aircard, a GSM phone with GPRS, Richochet if they ever restart Dallas. Besides personal Internet stuff, I connect to the office WAN for network files and Notes by dialing into an ISP and connecting thru to a company VPN. I also dial into several devices that have modems only -- no IP connection possible to those -- using either a "dumb" terminal emulation program or a proprietary access program. I should be able to access the VPN thru a wireless highspeed data network BUT the dialup modems are the problem. Is there any (inexpensive) service similar to the VOIP services that allows you to connect to them via the Internet and then using a special dialer to allow legacy software to dial into a standard landline modem, i.e. software that looks like a modem to the terminal emulation accepting AT codes etc.None AFAIK.However ... is there anyone with broadband withing LOS when you aredocked?If so, consider setting up a directional 802.11g link to them and rentsome bandwidth from them. See Robert X. Cringley's columns on PBS.orgfor details (search on 802.11).If you have $$, you might even consider doing an 802.11g WISP for yourmarina for the other liveaboards.Nobody but a fool goes into a federal counterrorism operation withoutduct tape - Richard Preston, THE COBRA EVENT.
