 +The ''fsogsmd'' implementation is capable of **{{.:freerunner:0710-720.zip|GSM 07.10 Multiplexing}}** using the library ''libgsm0710mux'', so installing the **fso-abyss** or the previous **fso-gsm0710muxd** packages is not required.

-FSO provides a nice multiplexing of GSM/GPRS. Different aplications can talk to the GSM modem concurrently and place GSM calls while running a GPRS internet connection (bandwidth will be the bottleneck!). The GSM multiplexing is handled by the **fso-gsm0710muxd** package.+''pppd'' is called with some default options (search ''ppp_options'' into the source files), which don't work with the ISP provider I knowFortunately we can override the options in **''/etc/freesmartphone/conf/GTA02/fsogsmd.conf''**
  
-Clicking on the GSM icon on the panel should allow to start/stop a GPRS connectionUnfortunately **I got several problems maging GPRS calls**, may be simply related to the AT commands used in dialling.
