Most of what you want is available very easily(broadband anywhere
with wifi or cell cards), the other odd parts,

Really, something like a variety of 3G or EDGE or something is rolled
out enough to painlessly support things like H.323 from many places?

that would kill the security at most hotspots, is very easy to get
around if you have a system you can access via VPN, and that system
does all the odd stuff.....

If need be I could rent a bit of someone's Xen-based server in a colo
or something - though then I pay for bandwidth three times over
(e.g., from my laptop, into my rented server, back out my server
again - or vice-versa) and it adds latency, but it may still be
plenty tolerable. Nobody gives out non-RFC1918 addresses then, or is
it that they still firewall it heavily and I'd need to tunnel over
that?

Thanks.

Not sure if I explained that very well....
At home I have dsl/cable/now fios, and run my own machine at home 24/7....
On the road with the laptop, I just tunnel into my computer at home, and
when on the road use something like gotomypc that just repeats the
screen/keyboard mouse etc from the machine at home on my laptop wherever I
happen to be, so the actual work is actually done by the PC at home, I just
basically see what the screen would show if I were home and in front of
it.... Seems to work pretty well, and I never have to worry about what is
blocked or not as I travel around....

From the way you sort of asked, thought maybe something similar would work
for you....
