You can peer in the log file in /tmp. The phone I've got won't actually
believe any SIM card I've fed to it so I don't know if that bit actually
works at all anyway

Ditto

Yes - it corrupts memory. You can crash it immediately as well by asking
for a list of messages on the sim

Dialer Issues

[Thomas Wood]

Hi Mickey/Harald,

I've run into a few issues with the dialer that I'm not quite sure how 
to sort out:


* It's not possible to retrieve the current connection status (e.g. 
whether the phone is registered with a network)


* What should the dialer use to play ring tones?

* How should speaker mode work?

* What should the dialer do if it finds gsmd has crashed?

* There appears to be problems getting the gsm chip to reliably register 
with the network (i.e. no response even using libgsm-tool)



I've also found that gsmd occasionally crashes. I believe this is the 
log from the latest crash I had:
