Hi Michelle,

Perhaps i'm not understanding your question correctly.
>From what i read, i seems that you got your huawei working correctly as
an umts/hspa-modem, But now you want to use sms/voip directly?

afaict, you can only use the voice/text-services from asterisk over the
IP-layer offered by your modem.

If you want to use the GSM-chip directly, you need (parts of) another
project: not asterisk, but openbsc. But i don't think that they are yet
capable of communicating to Huawei-hardware (i have one myself)

You got a working IP-connecion ontop of the underlying gsm-stuff, and
have access only on anything on the ip-level, not to the protocols
underneath, i think....

As side-info, if you have openbts or openbsc up-and-running, you do have
directly access to the gsm-stuff (and above), but you need dedicated
hardware, like a nano-bts. And these are huge and costly compared to a
huawei-modem.
