Yes, oFono's current implementation does not understand hardware specifics.  
The current atmodem driver assumes a fully featured modem with perfect fluency 
in 27.007 & 27.005.  Obviously this is wrong for real modems.  Mostly this is 
because we were concentrating on getting the high level features working, 
before delving into hardware specifics.

I've seen this reported at least twice now.  Which means that my SMS support 
detection in atmodem driver is probably not quite correct.  Would you be able 
to report at which point in the drivers/atmodem/sms.c initialization that this 
fails?

27.005 defines at least some rudimentary way to detect whether SMS is supported 
by the modem or not.  Unfortunately 27.007 doesn't have an equivalent for 
voice calls.  The generic driver will do its best to figure out what is 
supported or not supported, but it will be up to the device-specific driver to 
have the final say.
