Boult, did you actually use it? I'm asking because several of my co-workers, nor myself, can not access it with the various versions of sidekicks we use. Color, B&W, wyndtell, t-mobile, NOTHING. Can you use it? If you can, please tell us all what SK and service you're using! Thank you so much!

I don't own a sidekick, just that I came across the website. Maybe you were doing it wrong way. did you follow the step by step direction on their website? http://globalrelay.mci.com/wireless.htm
on top of page, it says "Use IP-RELAY.com on your Danger Sidekick® or other portable devices*." the "*" refer to other portable devices which software is not available yet.
I add nbr 1) 2) to step for clear step.
The instruction follows like this:
Download the new IP-RELAY.com on your Sidekick and experience the difference today!
Here's how:
1) Choose "Catalog" from the "jump" screen icon menus
2) Highlight and click on "Options" and then "Applications" from the drop down menu.
3) Select "All" and click on "IP-RELAY"
4) Follow the screen prompt to download the IP-RELAY.com software on your sidekick.
5) Once the installation is complete, the IP-RELAY.com icon will appear as a new option on the "Jump" menu screen. Select this icon to instantly connect with a relay operator and make a relay call.
* The new Wireless IP-RELAY.com will soon be available for download on other handheld devices - watch for future announcements on www.IP-RELAY.com!

Boult, since you don't own a sidekick, you can't verify that those directions actually work. MCI continues to mislead people that their IP-RELAY feature is available.
My co-workers who own Sidekicks are unable to download the ip-relay software. I am unable to as well. It is still not accessible, even using the instructions that outline how to download it.
My co-workers are adept technology users, so I have no reason to believe that they are not correctly following the instructions that MCI has kindly provided on their site.

just got this from a friend of mine...
Good news for all SK users!
There will not see any IP Relay icon in the catalog but we able to use
terminial icon to use IP relay as hosting which fastest than AIM
relay!!!!
Now try to follow the instruction:
Go to catalog and select application then ALL
Select Terminial and purchase it and install!
When it is installed, you will see a small icon that looks like
computer. Then open it and follow the name and host number.
Name: IP-Relay
Host: 199.249.21.66:2510
Protocol: RAW
Then it will normal as TTY to Relay! Good luck to all!
My friend inform me about this and asked him where he get the
information. He don't know or remember where he gets. Oh well long
as it is working!!!!!!! Yahoo!
This can be done in terminal via unix shell or mac os x's terminal.app or your unix shell account whatever.. just remove the : from the ip address like this:Boult said:
at command prompt;
$> telnet 199.249.21.66 2510 (instead of 199.249.21.66:2510 )
