Hi Pavel,

There is the Mitac Mio A701. Very old but still it is there, with the kernel
part maintained.

Userspace was based on QTopia in 2008. I don't maintain that part anymore
though.

The GSM part relies on a simple ttyS device (modem has its internal flash), no
real data at that time, or rather 2G only, but the 07.10 mux support was never
included in Qtopia ...

Cheers.
