actually for someone who spent many years reverse engineering the closed ISI protocol from Nokia for the gnokii.org project, I would say the ISI modem support is actually pretty good. It might be a far away from being complete, but all development of the ISI support for oFono is happening in the open. And it is not only ISI, we also have the CAIF from ST-Ericcson as open source and merged into the Linux kernel and oFono. The credit for this clearly goes to ST-Ericsson, but I like to assume that oFono and MeeGo had some good influence here. I have other 3G modems where I would start complaining about and which give us a lot harder time ;) Regards Marcel _______________________________________________ MeeGo-dev mailing list MeeGo-dev@meego.com http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-dev
