With my health on the mend, I posted some travelogue articles via hotel WiFi and made a couple of phone calls that came through with impressive clarity on the Droid II Global phone that Verizon lent me for the trip.
It's great because it has an HTTP and FTP server and uses regular HTML to issue the commands making it the perfect match for my PSP, which does not support any fancy Javascripts or DHTML. The PSP talks to the WACI NX via wifi through the network.
