In this case I need to study (and I need support) to know how implement it according to the sugar architecture, and discuss which is the best dialog to configure and use this connection. <div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Nov 19, 2009 at 12:11 PM, Tomeu Vizoso <<a href="mailto:tomeu@sugarlabs.org">tomeu@sugarlabs.org</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> 2009/11/12 Daniel Castelo <<a href="mailto:dcastelo.sugarlabs@gmail.com">dcastelo.sugarlabs@gmail.com</a>>: <div class="im">> In a short term we are thinking in develop an activity to interact with wwdial.
