Jupp, just tried it, I stand corrected!
I was thinking manual dialing for some obscure reason (just experienced
the

Telia accepts 009<countryprefix> for sure on their GSM network.
I'm using it all the time (many users would probably have a hard time
generating a '+' from their mobile phones).

No need to doubt, both versions work!
Anyone, how do you enter a '+' from a SH888 during manual dialing?
(Hint, press 0 long enough, like 2 seconds or so :-)
Some patch-2.3.13-irda1 trivia:
Just noticed that given sufficent time (minutes) 2.3.13 with
2.3.13-irda1
crashes if the phone is removed while a terminal program is talking
to the phone (I use a program called xc, eg, 'xc -l /dev/modem').
