i agree that a d-bus interface to gsm functionality should be
sufficient.

but i would recomend to seperate 07.07 and 07.10 daemons. i also found
one gsm07.10 implementation on the net and a derivate of that at
berlios. both work with pseudo ttys and dont care about 07.07. i
ported that one to a linux-phone with the benefit that this daemon
takes care of the power-up (and resetting in case of malfunction) of
the modem chip.

the gsm07.07 is complete seperated and a pppd can use one of the pty
for gprs.

btw: does the ti chip talks the advanced mode of 07.10?
