This is realy cool! I wonder if Justine's Redbean[0] webserver, which got recently posted on HN[1], would support ARM in such use case. Its executable size is 460KB, it even allows Lua scripting, and benchmarks 1 million pages per second on desktop PC.

Any chances that opening a root shell into the modem can be used to grab the closed firmware, reverse engineer it, then swap with an open source one? I mean it's not just about security but also being able to implement nice things to have running and connected while for example the phone operating system sleeps between calls.
If someone's reverse engineering that modem, I'm curious what all is running on there, if it makes any connections other than what you ask for, and who it talks to, and what is said.
The Quectel modems are fun parts. We are using one in a project as a kind of theft protection. I couldn't belive at first "this is a whole computer with Linux on it". I really wonder why modem manufacturers feel the need to encapsulate everything so much. Is it for regulatory reasons, to protect their secret sauce, or for our convenience? On the one hand it makes simple things really easy with some AT commands, on th…
It's amazing that posting this on HN has not melted it down. Are you using an edge CDN like Cloudflare to provide caching?

Wow, that's probably about the same ram & cpu as my desktop 16 years ago.
I started with a Pentium I, 166Mhz, 16MB, 1GB HDD, and I'm not even that old. I imagine we have folks here that started on a PDP :-) My P1 would stutter while playing MP3s :-))
I have never really tried but it surprises me providers let you accept connections on a gsm connection.

I started with a C64, tried copying games from magazines to try. Then I got a 486DX. I don't remember the rest. :D
