Agreed. The port expander approach should be explored. Also needed is WinModem control for smooth analog (clear) to digital (crypto) transition. >I've toyed with the idea of porting SpeakFreely to Ipaq, but have >not actually done anything at this point. Several developers, including an ex-Starium engineer, and I have been talking about just such venture. I sure between all of us we have the wherewithal to make this happen. Besides the half-duplex problem some changes to the SF protocol are desired to work better with SOHO firewalls now common. steve
