This is a really bad idea, we should never have cases where the read handler 
is unset, and if we do we should end up closing the socket when the buffer is 
full.

Please send gsmdial patches separately.  Also, can you make g_at_ppp use the 
new_from_io constructor?  In that case you don't need the gatio modifications 
above.
