<![CDATA[Use phone as modem with gnome-calls]]>Hi,
I would like to connect my Fairphone 4 with usb to my computer, using it as modem for gnome-calls.
I have no idéa how to activate the phone as a modem. When I connect my Ubuntu phone with my Ubuntu Pc, gnome-calls just looks like this: (No modem available). Any suggestions?

Seems like you need an actual modem for that.
