SMS with modemmanager and Nokia N900

[tom <toabctl googlemail com>]

Hi,

i tried to use the testscript test/mm-send-sms.py to send a sms with my
Nokia N900 phone. 
I got the following exception when i try to use the script with:

$ python mm-send-sms.py 0123456789 mytext
Sending message failed.
Exception is: org.freedesktop.ModemManager.Modem.Gsm.Unknown: Unknown
error

I tried the same with d-feet and the dict:
{'number':'123456789', 'text':'my text'}

same result.

Any ideas why sending sms doesn't work? And how to fix this problem?


Cheers,

Tom


p.s.
I had to fix the script to output the exception. See patch attachment
and please apply the patch to git master.
