In the FreeCalypso +environment where we are not doing WAP or MMS this functionality can only be +exercised on targets that bring out a classic modem UART with the classic AT +command interface to the external host, but Mot C139 is not one of those +targets - hence on the C139 all FAX_AND_DATA and GPRS code is nothing but dead +weight. We will only be able to remove this dead weight when and if we fully +deblob all of L1 and G23M, so it will be a while before we get there, and we'll +have to carry the dead weight until then.
