well, now that I'm well net connected, I could advertise it for the
next three months...  and I'd probably even hang out there quite a
bit too...  (I would have to start an Xserver on my box though :) )

but I do agree with Luigi on using GSM for audio...  it's really great
on modem links (Luigi and I have used it between us, and each time one
of us was behind a modem)...  and you can still use your modem for
other stuff...  (gsm is encodes 160 16-bit samples into 33bytes)...
