[kannel] GSM Modem/Phone Linux USB

[Jimmy McMillan]

It is possible to simply hook a cell phone up to my Linux machine using 
the USB data cable and allow that to act as a SMSC/GSM modem?  Are most 
phones semi-supported in that the AT commands will be standard?  How do 
I tell my Linux machine that the USB connection is an AT Modem? 

How hard is this, and are there any links that someone could friendly 
show me.

Thanks everyone.
