asterisk users - Feb 2008 - Connecting a UMTS module via USB to asterisk

Hi, i'm new to the list, this is my first post here.
I have a UMTS module that can be used like a modem and associated with a SIM
card (on a simple board) can make phone and data call towards a real phone.
Basically is a sort of rough phone that i configure and use by AT commands.
It can handle and receive incoming call to the phone number associated to
the sim very easily.
I connect the module via USB and as i said i use AT commands (under Linux i
use Minicom, under Windows you could use Hyperterminal to do such a thing).
Recently i've been using Asterisk too and i was wondering if there was a way
to make these two thing work togheter!
So the scenario would be:

Phone (of any kind) ------> "usb modem that can handle phone calls"
------>
asterisk --------> softphone on a pc


Normally i use a ISDN card instead of the second block of my scenario and
everything goes fine but now i'd like to try this wireless solution in order
to be reached by a phone call i.e. when i'm on a train using my laptop
(where i would have asterisk running).


Do i need a particular driver to do so?
How can i make asterisk "look" at my usb port?

Thanks a lot

It could be an hint in fact but from what i know this is only for Bluetooth
devices...is there anything related to USB connection in asterisk?
Basically what i need is really near to chan_mobile but i don't need
Bluetooth connection...only USB.
Thanks again

Marco M.

p.s. am i writing in the right place or should i write to another
asterisk-related mailing-list?
