[Asterisk-Dev] DECT channel

[Dorian Logan]

Hi,

   I love this idea - I too have been dreaming................

   How about skipping the FXS all together and have a device that has 
the following:

   DECT Handset --------->  Our IAX DECT base station ------------> IAX 
--------------> Asterisk

   Alternatively it could output SIP I guess - but I do like the IAX 
protocol for routing over NAT.

   By skipping the FXS there I would hope be no need for any echo 
cancelation, further reducing the cost and complexity.

   Anyone else got any ideas / comments?

D.
