Well, the UMTS modem module is not yet soldered on
those two boards we have so far. The reason is that it
is a littele easier to test the internal USB port on which
the module is hooked up if the module is not connected.

And we wanted to reduce the amount of money we would
scrap, if the board did fail. But so far it looks good and
we finally can add one of those (expensive) UMTS modules.
