Hey Maurice

I would have thought that in a TDMA system you could just temporarily lease two "time-slots" rather than one to double your bandwidth for data transmission (or for voice but it's not worth it). You know, the phone calls up the network and says, "give me two or three Time-Slot permits, I want to throw you a lot of data quickly".

In a CDMA system the "Code" kind of spreads the info through the whole allocated spectrum as a kind of unintelligible noise, right?(except for the recipient of course). Can't we temporarily lease Two codes for 19.2K or 4 codes for 38.4K? It would just make more "noise" like we were two cell-phones at the same time, right?

In my relatively" limited understanding that would just be a matter of software in the handset and the cell-site or G* gateway. Nothing to do with the bent pipe.

Actually with normal PCs and normal landline modems you can do it now with much higher level software (like OSI level about 4 or so). Some is available from tucows.com I think. You just load it, get two land lines , connect two modems and voila 56K x2 !!

Am I missing something?

Oliver

PS Just assume I don't mind if the network charges me for two phone calls for a double speed connection. Supply and Demand, right?
