Apologies for not replying sooner. Thanks for the replies.

I tried the SIM in another phone and it does work, and another SIM 
in this one does not (both the same network).

Quoth Michael Spacefalcon:

Revision is:
GSM: gsm_ac_gp_fd_pu_em_cph_ds_vc_cal35_ri_36_amd8_ts0-Moko11

So Moko11, I guess ;)

That's a good idea. I'm hitting a snag before I get very far, 
though. Namely that I don't know which process is in charge of the 
GSM, so which one to kill to stop the phone accessing.

lsof would probably tell me, but I can't install it because it's 
tough to get the wifi to work (which I generally don't care about).  
Can somebody who knows QtMoko advise which process to kill?  There 
is no gsmd, as suggested on the OM wiki.

Thanks,

Nick
