[MLB-WIRELESS] [OT] Deal on home phones.

[Gabrielle Harrison & Paul van den Bergen]

personally I have been toying with the idea of switching over to broadband  
and getting a VOIP phone... anyone have an opinion on that?

and to bring it back to topic, could we run VOIP over MW?


also been thinking about network connectivity again... it occurred to me  
that most real BB plans don't actually shut off your pipe if you go over  
MB budget, they just shape the traffic viciously.  so heres a thought.  
take 2 MW members, each with BB that shapes traffic, each with a freebsd  
router/wireless box. set up a  VPN over a bandwidth filtered pipe via the  
internet.  You now have low bandwidth cross connect between two nodes  
independant of geography...
