</div></div>It ought to be possible, though probably not out of the box. It seems like an<br>
odd thing to do, but I'm sure you have a reason.<br>
<br>
You could run asterisk on the laptop and use it to route calls between the<br>
modem in the laptop and a SIP or IAX client running on the openmoko with a<br>
USB or WiFi network connection. This ought to be fairly easy to set up,<br>
assuming the card exposes its audio interfaces.<br>
<br>
One or more of the network capable audio daemons could probably make the<br>
openmoko appear as an audio interface on the laptop, so probably usable with<br>
the modem.<br>
<br>
You could try to get the openmoko to behave as a Bluetooth headset or<br>
handsfree kit, but I'm not certain there's any software available to<br>
implement this yet. This also assumes that the laptop can connect the card to<br>
the bluetooth audio device.<br>
