BUGS

Sometimes, the alerter appears again after you click accept or reject. I'm not sure why. I've worked around it in a couple of ways for now.

Strings like NO CARRIER in an SMS can confuse the modem_server parser. A better way of dealing with partials and unsoliciteds is needed.

TODO

Make startup sequence more robust: e.g. if sms_manager crashes, when it restarts, it won't get the registered_with_network event, since that's already been broadcast. Similarly, if callmanager_gui is restarted after the phone is already registered to a network, it won't display the network name, since the event has already passed it by.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If it starts only when you run it over ssh, ie. over a real network connection, then make sure fic-gta01 is in your /etc/hosts. You can confirm that this might be the problem by running "erl -sname foo" from a terminal window. If it hangs, perhaps a missing entry in /etc/hosts is to blame.
