Is this for the generic AT commands too or only the extensions?

Normally, all the small differences will be handled with flags declared
for each device. I'm not sure it's already in place in the current
Hayes-RIL (I've rewritten it from scratch like 2 or 3 times), but it'll
be when I'll be back working on it.

Good to know.

Indeed, that seems quite ridiculous for implementing a protocol that's
publicly documented. I was however quite surprised to see that there was
no quality AT RIL implementation. Every free RIL was basically a quick
hack over the reference Android RIL, which handles AT in the worst
possible way and gives no flexibility at all.
