It's mostly Android specific, as code like this makes heavy use of the 
platform APIs. There is one part that could be successfully shared with 
other Java implementations, and that is the protocol implementation (the 
Gnbus* classes and RequestData). I could also try to document the 
protocol a little bit better while I'm in the neighbourhood. I think the 
protocol might be one of the hard parts for someone starting a Java ME 
implementation. If I remember correctly I even looked at a ME 
implementation myself some years back, but dropped it when I could 
figure out the protocol after trying briefly.

I agree, if I get around to changing how Gnokii works I'll make sure 
that G-P-M works with channel=0 for when setting up a connection. (But 
as G-P-M will require a new Gnokii release after this change, I'll hope 
you'll consider my G-P-M patch in the meantime.)
