I know it has been a while since gnophone has been seen/discussed much
but it was perfect for this. It was IAX and therefore NAT friendly. It
included a mozilla browser which allowed you to have web pages with
links that where equivalent to dial strings. It also supported video.

Maybe we just need to rekindle the interest in developing that
interface.
