The hackers have an IP grabber software that runs in my N800 tablet. That
software always reports a PPP connection on my Alltel tethered link, with
the correct IP assigned for the call from Alltel, so I assume the Sellular
link is PPP, at least on EVDO. The phone reports "Packet data" and
"DORMANT" like a PPP connection is. I doubt there's a reachable limit of
connections. I do have a dynamic assigned IP the software reports that
works fine with "Peekaboo", an application to turn the N800 tablet into an
html-addressable webcam. Too bad the IP changes with every connection for
Peekaboo as you have to tell your "audience" what your new html address is
to see through the cam. It handles 4 or 5 simultaneous html connects just
fine before it starts slowing down on EVDO. If someone wants to see
something while I'm talking to them on Skype or the Sellphone, I'll pop out
the cam and boot Peekaboo to show it to them....in realtime, 640x480 color
and audio....(c;
