so, i see they made the asterisk server fail over by unplugging a node
and that's cool but not what i need. what i want is a way to keep a
connection with an asterisk server (or any other preferably free voip
server) when one path fails. this wouldn't be an issue if i could
garante a sip gateway at each ap (wifi or 3g).

... or did i miss something?
