I tried it by myself, but without the ISI specification, it is a pretty
big effort. So we rely on you guys to do it. Do you have any estimate
when this could be achieved. I am asking because this feature is also
useful for desktop users wanting to attach their Nokia phone just for
Internet access. Better than Dialup and PPP since they would get proper
signal strength etc. with it.
