I have been trying to get my Option FirstFone working under GSM lib.  I see the changelog states that some patches were made to gsmlib-1.6 to include some
FirstFone support.

I haven't had too much joy.

I can get most of gsmctl working, with the exception of setting the SCA.  This
is because the ATZ resets my modem every time and wipes out any set SCA.  I have managed to work around this by setting the SCA in the Init string for all commands.. -I '+CSCA="+61418706700"'

I have also been able to access the message store, via gsmsmsd, but only by setting GSMLIB_SH888_FIX=1.

msp@solo:~$ unset GSMLIB_SH888; gsmsmsd no_cb no_stat -t SM -f

 I have not had any joy sending SMS :-(.

 Apparently the FirstFone only accepts +CSMS=0 (Select Message Service 0 = GSM 3.40 & 3.41).  gsmlib wants to set 1.  And the subesquent PDU doesn't get sent :-(  With a detailed understanding of SMS I haven't been able to chase this further.  See attached debug output.

 I have had no problems sending SMS via Text mode from a terminal program;

 AT+CMGF=1			; set text mode
 OK
 AT+CSCA="+61418706700"		; set SCA
 OK
 AT+CMGS="+61408281911"		; Send Message
 > Hello^Z			; text followed by ^Z
 +CMGS: 13
 OK

 FirstFone state they support ETSI GSM-TS 07.05 & 07.07 with the full command set available at ftp://www.option.com/FiFo/Manuals/DevkitV13.pdf

 Is anyone using gsmlib with Option FirstFone?  Are you having any joy and
 can you offer any suggestions as how I can progress from here..

 gsmsendsms[ERROR]: timeout when reading from TA (errno: 22/Invalid argument)

Hi Peter,

Sorry that doesn't seem to work either :-(

It appears that it won't allow a +CMGS command to proceed without a valid
SCA set, which I guess if fair enought.   Problem is every time a 'ATZ'
is issued it deletes the SCA :-(  However as I said, I can force the setting
of the SCA by including the command in the initialisation script.

Problem still is that it doesn't seem to accept the gsm-lib PDU format. :-(
