It looks like audio is going over one of several usb serial interfaces. For 
the Freerunner's GSM interface we would use chan_alsa, but it might need 
modification to treat left and right as separate interfaces if you want to use 
the handset mic and earpiece. There would also be some script glue between FSO 
and asterisk for call handling.

Absolutely, in fact, chances are it'll already work with the singleline
abstraction.

Sorry, thats not what I am asking - can I make normal voice calls like a
standard 3g phone, not have to set up a private VoIP system that
connects over a data link.

Maybe too hasty, does chan_sebi talk sip to the dongle (or maybe send
gsm coded audio) so calls go from the dongle to the operator as per
normal? - google isnt helping ...

It looks to me like calls go from the dongle to the operator as normal, but 
that not all dongles are capable of this.

 FR already has a sim and is 3G .Why do you want to connect it to a USB

The FR can use a 3G SIM, but cant connect to a 3G network - which is my
problem.  GSM seems to be diminishing with 3G coverage quickly expanding
into new areas.
