Not yet. The ones that require a login & password might be awkward to
get through though, although there is a sort of login scripting feature,
but I have not looked into it.

It'll use the GSM codec if you ask it to, so that might work on a slow
site which has open access, however WiFi is notoriously bad as passing
a relatively low data rate/high & small packet size sort of load.

If the access point is overloaded I'd expect it to not work very
well at all.
