Sockso seems to be a perfect solution :)

I set it up in a minute. Just great way to let someone
listen to your music, thanks :)

Since the user there is already used to normal web browsing
the music part is totally solved now with the aid of Sockso.
Once configured (2 minutes) it runs nicely in the background 24/7.

Thank you for that :)

As for other media in this user case, feature movies w lowered bitrate
the script is just fine now as it is.
The connection will not drop by itself normally, it's a desktop.

In my own use I won't need sms, so my simplest connection is wvdial.

Then I can have everything in one small script.
I'll need to modify the script to make it monitor the connection and
in case of drop it needs to unmount, reconnect and remount.

I'll try to enhance it...
