This is a Python program which can be used to do some limited management of a 3G USB Modem on Linux, allowing the user to send SMS messages, send USSD commands, and send AT command to the modem. There are two interfaces the command line version and the curses interface (implemented using the Python Urwid module).

Tested with Python versions 2.7.3 and 2.7.4 on Xubuntu 12.04 and Fedora 20.

Dependencies are: python-urwid pyusb pyserial On Ubuntu/Debian: sudo apt-get install python-urwid pyusb pyserial On Fedora: sudo yum install python-urwid pyusb pyserial

The project is still very much a work in progress.

To install, run the command: sudo ./install.sh

The 'amodem' program will be installed to '/usr/local/bin' with the 'lib' folder being copied to '/usr/local/lib/amodem'

Running amodem: amodem needs to access the /dev/ttyUSB files, so it will probably require sudo access run 'amodem -h' or 'amodem --help' for a list of options and commands run 'amodem -i' or 'amodem --curses' to start the curses interface run 'amodem -l' or 'amodem --enable-logging' to start with logging, by default to the file '~/.amodem.log' run 'amodem -d' or 'amodem --debug' to print debug information

amodem configuration file: By default the amodem configuration file is '~/.amodemrc'

An example configuration file has been added to the git directory called 'amodemrc'
