Re: Missed call communication protocol

2007-02-07 Thread Rodney Arne Karlsen
Hi there

While you can choose your callerID when using a sip server, it may not stay 
the way you set it once it passes through the PSTN gateway. I tried playing 
with CallerID stuff some time back here in South Africa and our PSTN provider 
will only allow you to set your caller ID to a number that is assigned to the 
line you are using. If you are lucky enough to have a PRI line then you start 
with around 100 numbers. 

Sorry to throw a spanner in the works but I'm not sure that this will work 
here. It may work in other countries. I think I heard about it working in the 
US.

There is a crowd called MXIT(http://www.mxit.co.za) that provide a mobile 
messaging app and service that is based on Jabber(Ejabberd if I remember 
correctly). What they have done though is modified the client to server 
protocol to make it more "efficient". Unfortunately it makes their server 
incompatible with other jabber clients. On the other hand they implement the 
normal server to server protocols so you can still chat with people on Google 
talk and other jabber servers.

Personally I prefer the idea of trying the compression option in TLS that was 
suggested as we then are not changing the protocol and are therefore not 
limiting the number of servers we can connect to.

I currently use Kopete on my desktop for my IM needs. I have it hooked up to 
my Google talk account, a South African Jabber server, 2 MSN accounts(1 for 
personal and 1 for work) and occasionally hook it to other jabber servers I 
test in the office. While not being efficient cost wise if we are on GPRS/3G 
etc, it does make life easy for me and I would like to see this sort of 
flexibility in Open Moko. Right now I have 3 IM apps on my Nokia N80 so that 
I can connect to MSN, MXIT and Google Talk.

Hi all

A quick look in Gentoo's portage shows an emulator called SoftGun 
(http://softgun.sourceforge.net/) which is an ARM emulator. Not sure if it 
will be helpfull here, but it might be a place to start looking.
