RE: About DBus Interface specification
Dear Mr.Dan, I've read your recently uploaded spec and found it very different from what you uploaded before. However, I don't find any spec about sending/receiving SMS any more. I have also searched the mail-list and understood that at this time, you don't provide a full SMS functionality. At present, my project needs those SMS functions. It would be very helpful of you if you could direct me how to use ModemManager(also NetworkManager) in order to make SMS functionality perform properly in the real world. I will certainly try my best to give contribution to your source repository.

RE: About DBus Interface specification
Dear all, Thank for your reply, Before working further on ModemManager, I read your spec and do some testing with simple python script. It seems I misunderstand something. I don't think ModemManager doesn't install properly in my workstation because I can access Internet perfectly. Would you be so kind as to view my script to see what's going wrong. Here is my testing script for testing Read Type property of org.freedesktop.ModemManager.Modem interface = #!/usr/bin/env python import dbus bus = dbus.SystemBus() proxy = bus.get_object(org.freedesktop.ModemManager, /org/freedesktop/ ModemManager) manager = dbus.Interface(proxy, org.freedesktop.ModemManager) devices = manager.EnumerateDevices() for d in devices: dev_proxy = bus.get_object(org.freedesktop. ModemManager, d) prop_iface = dbus.Interface(dev_proxy, org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties) dev_iface = dbus.Interface(dev_proxy, org.freedesktop.ModemManager.Modem) #info = dev_iface.GetInfo() _type = prop_iface.Get(org.freedesktop.ModemManager.Modem, Type) print %s % _type == the output say: dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknow: The name org.freedesktop.ModemManager was not provided by any .service files === Now if I change all ModemManager words into NetworkManager, the interpreter don't complain above error anymore but: dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.Dbus.Error.InvalidArgs: No such property Type Could you please give me some code example to work with ModemManager?

About DBus Interface specification
Dear Dan, Thank for your works about DBus Interface specification http://www.bgiw.org/~dan/mm-spec.html But when writing client application, I found it provide not enough information. For example, With org.freedesktop.ModemManager.Modem Interface. I cannot find DBus name also Object path in order to make methods call GetInfo() Hope my suggestion will be noticed to make that specification more clearly.
