BUGS
===========================================================================

Sometimes, the alerter appears again after you click accept or
reject. I'm not sure why. I've worked around it in a couple of ways
for now.

Strings like NO CARRIER in an SMS can confuse the modem_server
parser. A better way of dealing with partials and unsoliciteds is
needed.



TODO
===========================================================================

Make startup sequence more robust: e.g. if sms_manager crashes, when
it restarts, it won't get the registered_with_network event, since
that's already been broadcast. Similarly, if callmanager_gui is
restarted after the phone is already registered to a network, it won't
display the network name, since the event has already passed it by.

TROUBLESHOOTING
===========================================================================

If it starts only when you run it over ssh, ie. over a real network
connection, then make sure fic-gta01 is in your /etc/hosts. You can
confirm that this might be the problem by running "erl -sname foo"
from a terminal window. If it hangs, perhaps a missing entry in
/etc/hosts is to blame.
