Making phone calls

[Greg Johnson]

Eh, I sent this to just Walter first.  Isn't Reply-To supposed to go to
the list?

I had the same experience as Walter with my Neo.  I can sometimes make
calls, but usually one of the components crashes.  So far I haven't
heard anyhting out of the Neo's microphone, but I think I was using the
wrong alsa state file.

I'm using a build I did on 7/29.  My SIM is my usual US T-Mobile one.

At least there are things to work on. :)
