...then you need an audio cable too, connected to the handsfree socket....

What about then to use the OSS driver and a cheaper full duplex sound card
to connect the phone....
You neet then just the following:
- a GSM/CDMA phone with handsfree socket and data cable
- a full duplex sound card
- OSS driver for the sound part (* CONSOLE maybe???)
- a small driver for the serial port
