Ok Ok Ok, back to the ceiva. I just did a little test to see something. I had the frame manually dial in for an update. You hold the button on the back of the frame and in a few seconds it shows a little message, now dialing in... So then i just pick up a phone in my house and listen to what happens. After the dial in is complete, there is a STANDARD hardware handshake. Fuck, anybody who has ever used a modem knows what it sounds like. So now all i have to do is make something that fakes the dial tone so the frame will dial, than just produce a hardware handshake and i should get an open datapath. I think i can get the results i want using Macromedia Director. It will give me all the access i need to the modem controls on my computer and it should be able to modulate all the data that i need to pass once the connection has been made. The problem is i have to figure out what protocols the frame uses to pass the jpgs. I gotta go dig now. Somebody somewhere must know how the frame talks to the servers. Otherwise i might just have to record a few sessions and demodulate them. :) FUN FUN FUN

I swear to god if you get a Director movie updating the Ceiva I'm gonna send you a case of wine. Not because you just saved me $60 but because you're an evil fucking genius... Although I guess it would also make you a criminal since this falls under the DMCA.

Any progress on this idea? I would like to consider getting one except for the high phone calls from Canada. Thanks
