NetworkManager, dbus, 3G USB Modems and SMS

[Dan Irwin]

Hello,

That looks like a good solution. The only problem I foresee that gammu won't
be able to access /dev/ttyUSBn while NetworkManager has an active connection
using the same device.

Still, it looks like the best solution so far, even if I have to disconnect
the broadband.

My hope is that I can write something myself to talk to NetworkManager or
ModemManager via dbus to work around the fact that /dev/ttyUSBn is locked.

Cheers,

Dan
