Try reading what people say before ranting. He has a *CDMA* modem. Can 
you offer him good modem support for a CDMA modem? If not, try to avoid 
making yourself look so foolish.

Actually,  most CDMA modems use AT commands, just like most GSM modems 
do. They both an extended set of the usual AT commands, with special 
commands to access cellular related features. The GSM stuff is openly 
documented. I think the CDMA guys are a bit more annal retentive, but 
they also have a spec for the standard CDMA modem interface.
