Really? Cool. I assume you did that in an area where there is no ricochet
coverage, yes?  Ricochet does not reach my home in the mountains, but it 
reaches almost everywhere else that I go in the bay area. I have tried to 
get my ricochet GS modem (128kb) to call my ricochet SX modem (56k) and 
vice versa at home and I can't get them to talk to each other. Exactly 
how did you dial?  Are you sure they were not communicating through a 
ricochet cell site?

I'm confused by this statement. Whos network?

Here's what I am hoping for: I want merlin for ricochet to be able to 
dial my GS modem. I can then plug the GS modem into my linux server's
USB port and plug merlin into wearable's PCMCIA slot. If that works 
then I can eliminate my rangelan2 cards and base station, and throw
a CDPD modem in the second PCMCIA slot. Hope it works ...

BTW I noticed that STRIP is part of the 2.2.18 kernel. I compiled it
in as a loadable module when building my custom kernel.
