RE: About DBus Interface specification

[Nguyen Canh Toan <Toannc5 viettel com vn>]

Dear Mr.Dan,

I've read your recently uploaded spec and found it very different from what
you uploaded before. However, I don't find any spec about sending/receiving
SMS any more. I have also searched the mail-list and understood that at this
time, you don't provide a full SMS functionality. 

At present, my project needs those SMS functions. It would be very helpful
of you if you could direct me how to use ModemManager(also NetworkManager)
in order to make SMS functionality perform properly in the real world. I
will certainly try my best to give contribution to your source repository.

Yours faithfully,
Toan Nguyen

So that interface is actually provided by ModemManager, not by
NetworkManager.  NetworkManager acts as the central controller daemon
that coordinates between various pieces of hardware, while most specific
hardware is driven by it's own service (wpa_supplicant, ModemManager,
etc).

I've uploaded the generated spec to:

http://projects.gnome.org/NetworkManager/developers/mm-spec-04.html

It's the spec from git master though, so some of the stuff like
AccessTechnology and SetAllowedMode hasn't shown up in a release quite
yet.
