ATT has a specific range (32.*.*.*) reserved for devices on the EDGE network. I found some info in the ATT forum, but nothing more specific (but one of the posts said ATT owns the 2.0.0.0/8 range)
I looked in my Apache access logs and most of the requests with a User-Agent of iPhone come from 32.175.*.* or 32.172.*.* or some other IPs around there. Roaming may still work. I had the "pleasure" (at a very high cost!) of roaming on EDGE from Europe and I was able to access some server configured to allow iPhone access to resources normally accessible only via VPN, and all I can think is that they monitor the IP addresses (I cannot access the same resource when on wireless) Of course iPhones sold to other providers (Europe, Canada, etc.) will have different IP addresses, but it would be easy to setup the service to support multiple ranges, and to add more ranges once they are known. -- Raffaele On Jan 23, 2008 11:00 PM, Ishan Anand <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > This is an interesting outside the box solution...but doesn't ATT also > sell DSL internet access?
