it accepted the uncomnpressed file, which is now linked to from the wiki 
page at 
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Manually_using_GPRS#Option_2:_With_GSM_multiplexing_and_without_a_GUI
 
(at the bottom of this section).  i hope that's OK.

We should preferably have an archive of such traces so that people can
compare their traces against what the working case looks like. If you
have time can you check if the wiki allows you to upload 130k gzip'd 
attachments?

i couldn't find that latter file, but i attached an strace to gsmmuxd and 
i have the debug file.

however, i am annoyed to report that the test call rang through.  that is, 
everything is as mickey lauer recently suggested it would be:

that is in fact exactly what happened.  since my link was idle, i saw the 
new call request coming through the modem in the trace (i have blanked 
out part of the calling number for privacy reasons):

1397  09:08:05.057420 read(5, "~\5\357\r\n%CPI: 
1,0,1,0,1,0,\"07971226XXX\",129\r\n\337~", 2048) = 44
1397  09:08:05.061490 write(6, "\r\n%CPI: 1,0,1,0,1,0,\"07971226XXX\",129\r\n", 
39) = 39
[...]
1397  09:08:05.867654 read(5, "~\1\377\343\5\7M\266~~\5\357\r\nRING\r\n\337~", 
2048) = 22

and my openmoko rang.  once i'd answered the call and hung up, pppd seemed 
to autoresume without complaint (pings went through within seconds of 
hanging up).

i quite understand that there will be no good or reliable way to detect an 
incoming call when the modem is flooded with data; all i wanted was to be 
able to keep the pppd line up for (eg) tango map download-on-demand and 
periodic checking of email, without having "blackout windows" hours long 
when i can't be contacted.  i can now do that.

so, thank you, timo, for your help, and mickey, thanks for the 
clarification.  i can confirm that my phone does all that can be expected 
of it in the context of a GSM network!  timo, would you still like a copy 
of my trace file for reference (it's about 130k)?
