Among some of the more interesting commments was his pick of best and worst Open Source friendly vendors ..." [SlashDot][3]. TuxMobil.org has a new page about Mobile Adhoc Networks - MANETs with Linux[4]. |=| O2PosTrack[6] is a console-based C++ application for retrieving position information from a mobile phone as provided by the (German) O2 mobile phone company.
