At this point I don't think so. What I *don't* know is whether the Nokia Internet Sticks (CS-1x) expose two AT ports or not. But at the moment I'd guess most Nokia phones only expose one, and anything else happens over PhoNet. > Also, is there any other plugin which could benefit from this probing > improvement? Most of the CDMA plugins *except* for Huawei; there are quite a few Huawei CDMA devices that have two AT capable ports. So I think you can add it to sierra-cdma, novatel-cdma, and the generic-cdma plugin, I think.
