Developer Meeting for Gnufiish

Waiting at the train station for my train to Berlin. I'm going to stay at Harald's place over the weekend to work together on the gnuffish project.

The main focus is to get the modem communication working. We are pretty sure that we understand how the modem is connected and how it is supposed to get driven. Even better Harald already wrote a driver for it. SPI slave part, linux tty layer integration, state machine it is all there. Still after nights and days debugging it we still not have it working.

This turns out into a major blocker now. Without the modem communication we can't start serious FSO integration and if the progress on this stalls to long it will be doomed as yet another project that may still make fun, but would not get the momentum it deserves, hardware is no longer available and so forth.

So we hope to get some progress with a high motivated face-to-face meeting over the weekend. We will send out a status afterwards. Stay tuned.
