Thanks. My interest was partly if it would be possible to do a simple
client for unsupported phones, or phones where theirs is broken. After all,
the basics of the protocol is just a bit of signalling to tell the phone
when to make a voice call to a magic number, and some status information.
All the clever stuff happens on the server.

I haven't got around to packet sniffing it yet as I don't have a suitable
phone, but someone else has:
http://phoneboy.com/2244/proof-of-iskoot-passing-credentials-in-the-clear
(that refers to a now-fixed bug where by mistake they used HTTP not HTTPS,
but shows the pre-encryption stream)

So it might work.

I've just tried the G1 version on Android-x86 (on a Joggler, essentially a
touchscreen PC). Installed and runs just fine... I don't have any GSM
hardware in the machine so I can't make calls with it, but it claims to work
up until the point it can't put a call through.
