<P><FONT SIZE=2>This senario works great! I have a Snom phone coupled with a Linksys Wireless game adapter. When on a event trip I was able to have the snom ring where ever there was a signal.<BR>
<BR>
So the proof of concept passed.<BR>
<BR>
Unfortunatly all the wifi phones I have read about seem to suck!<BR>

<BR>
You shouldn't need any port forwarding. I've found any SIP phones I've<BR>
worked with have happily moved from site to site behind NATs, etc. So I see<BR>
no reason to believe that the WiFi phone would be any different - it's just<BR>
connecting wirelessly instead of with a wire.<BR>
<BR>
And to answer your second question, I suspect some people would have very<BR>
good use for such a phone. Myself personally, I travel often - in the last<BR>
6 weeks I've been home for precisely 4 days. Most of the hotels, etc I stay<BR>
at have wireless of one sort or another, most of my friends have wireless in<BR>
their homes, may offices I work at have wireless. So I could see very<BR>
good use for having a wifi phone I can take with me....<BR>
<BR>
