That's what I was thinking earlier, although it may end up being a little
bulky once you put it all together. Perhaps you could make it a bagphone
or carphone instead. ;)

If the phone is able to do DHCP and you can configure a specific internet
directory address (where to "phone home" to) then in theory you could use
it with any net-connected AP that you have access to.

This PDF has images that match the Rockby products, but there's no mention
of ethernet on the KU1120 (handheld) and KU1130 (desktop). The KE1020A -
which doesn't match the Rockby pics - definitely mentions a 10BaseT port,
plus DHCP support, even PPPoE.

Again these don't mention ethernet. Looks like the Rockby info may be
incorrect. :( The KE1020A model is priced at $AUD202.95 on that site so I
doubt that's what Rockby are selling.

Cheers.
