Maemo 5 / Fremantle: communicating with internal cellular modem
 

I am brand new to Maemo development per se, however I'm contemplating to get involved at some point once my N900 arrives. Anyway, I have very specific application in mind that would require communicating with N900's built-in cellular modem (GSM/3G) in order to obtain basic base station's cell data, such as CellID, LAC, RSSI etc.

Would that be possible at all? I can see two potential solutions:

1) Communicate with modem at /dev/ttyXXX (?) via generic AT commands, ie. AT+CREG=2, then AT+CREG? to get basic cell info. This is what I am able to do when I plug GPRS/3G USB dongle to my Fedora-powered machine.
2) Use some kind of library/API that would do the same, however I'm just guessing here. Solution found: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=381570&postcount=6

Anyone having some experience or ability to check if that works? Any input much appreciated, thanks in advance!
