gdichaz: I think you are grossly underestimating the complexity of mobile wireless telephony in general and CDMA specifically. MOT's CDMA networks have struggled compared to Lucent's, Nortel's and Qualcomm's because of incredibly minute second order timing problems. Never say never, but I think it would be near impossible to "plug in" a smart radio, like some kind of ODBC driver, to triage among disparate standards given the processing requirements. Even if it were possible, the overhead penalty would definitionally result in sub-optimal performance. Still, yours wouldn't be a bad idea if we have only had infinite processing power and unlimited spectrum :-) Gregg
