We've all seen it before, WAP - Internet on your mobile, yadda yadda... 3G - 2Mb to your phone. Telcos pay UKP 5bn each to get a license then discover that they can maybe, at most, get 128-256kbps to each phone.
This 19Mb figure is just another Hype generating figure to add a bit of spark to the ailing 3G industry. In reality, it may allow speeds up to 512kbps on your phone.
Oh yes, and I'm sure it'll push Lucent's stock a little higher appeasing the shareholders even more after the recent massive job cuts.
" just needs serial-to-TCP/IP to meet the IP requirement "
This is easy, probably also very cheap with the dotcom titsup...
Old ISP Terminal Servers fit this bill very well, look for Annexes, Portmaster2 boxes - designed as a dialup server to which you connected ordinary modems. Portmaster 2 boxes have standard serial ports so you just need a 25-9pin straight through serial cable to plug the Realweasel into the PM. One PM can control up to 30 weasel cards.
Once connected (and configured) you would just telnet to your PM, then "attach s1" to connect to the s1 serial port, and you have serial BIOS control.
