Hi,
you can make QtMoko use dummy GSM stack. You can edit /opt/qtmoko/qpe.env and 
change:

	export QTOPIA_PHONE=AT

to
	export QTOPIA_PHONE=Dummy

Then you need to manually power off the modem - e.g. in startup scripts. I 
think there was AT command for it - maybe:

	echo -en "AT at POFF\r" >/dev/ttySAC0

could do it - or google helps :)
