But you have separate | CPU doing GSM stack in current cellphones, right? I believe you even | use AT commands for communication... That should be about as hard as | pcmcia card to "harden", and yes, people are routinelly selling pcmcia | GSM cards. --- Yes, as I've said elsewhere, I believe the modem software and communication between the applications and modem processors could be hardened to a point where it would be safe to make the kernel replaceable.
