These GPRS cards are basically wireless modems which accept a Hayes command
set (AT+????, etc...), can send and receive SMS messages, as well as
support WAP and PPP internet surfing.
Hayes commands allow for measuring local signal strength (AT+CSQ), reading
and writing SMS messages (AT+CMGF, AT+CMGW, AT+CNMI) etc...
So, it is somewhere between a serial driver and a wireless driver.
At the moment they seem to be ending up under serial, so I would prefer
consistency between the USB tty interfaces for 3G cards, the stuff like
Nozomi and any newer goodies. The new tty layer buffering is quite happy
at these speeds.
