Enhancement: Gammu

Hi,

gammu supports a lot of mobile phones. Is it possible that chan_celliax can use it for communication with the phone?

gsmopen and gammu

hehe, unfortunately no, at least the last time I checked.
But I'll check again in the next days.
Problem is that gsmopen is a looping "server", that stays there monitoring the modem and interacting with it.
Gammu and gammu library are more oriented at "fire a command and exit" operations.
But I will check that again.
Anyway, gammu is our source of inspiration, benchmark, and where to go look for supporting various cellphone models.
Also, at this time we support almost all phones: AT commands are completely customizable, plus (to be reinstated) Fbus for old nokia models.

libgammu

From my understanding, gammu is a command line utility that uses libgammu to do the heavy-lifting. You can use libgammu to your advantage.

libgammu 2

As I wrote in the previous post, I know that.

Problem is, that libgammu is (or at least was until some months ago) not developed with a usage like gsmopen in mind, but is just part of the command line utility put aside and linked as library.

But, as I wrote in the previous post, I'll look again to see if at this time it's possible (and if that buy us so much improvements to justify the efforts).

Ooops, by the way (now I remember), libgammu is GPL so it's usage is not possible in gsmopen (that will be with a more relaxed BSD style license).

They got a quarrel with the original developer of gnokii (from which gammu was a fork), that refused to put the library in LGPL (that would allow for inclusion in gsmopen).

I believe the situation still the same (libgammu GPLed).

But I'll look into that too, soon or later.
