RE: [PATCH] timestamps

Yea, one could do that.. ok - I'll get a swap_nibbles() helper for the
next patch I submit :-)
The whole swapped nibble stuff is part of the PDU format - AFAIK all
mobile terminals who use PDU to transfer messages send and recieve PDU
using this obnoxios GSM standard. I have no idea what prompted them to
define such an anoying format - it's a mess to support all those wierd
coding schemes on a PC (the PDU defines 4 different methods of encoding
data in the same message), so I cannot believe it's easy to implement on
handsets.

If you put garbage in a computer nothing comes out but garbage.  But
this garbage, having passed through a very expensive machine, is somehow
enobled and none dare criticize it.
