Kristjan; Of course, and as wifi phones become more prevalent, I could see that becoming the most common use. See my other reply to Barry for more about this topic. /tmy -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Kristjan Onu Sent: Friday, September 07, 2007 5:39 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [CUWiN] Re: Champaign's "free" wireless. > Web traffic, ICMP, and DNS are what are allowed through, everything > else is blocked...

I can't see myself using a laptop on a parkbench that often; more appealing is the idea of widespread outdoor WiFi coverage with a dual-mode GSM/WiFi handset to reduce the number of minutes I'd use on a cell phone plan. I think most such handsets use SIP so getting VoIP to work with only WWW, ICMP and DNS would seem circuitous.
