Dear Steffen,

thanks for your patch, it is most welcome. Sorry for not providing feedback earlier. Please see my comments below:

• case GSM340_TP_VPF_ABSOLUTE:

• case GSM340_TP_VPF_ABSOLUTE: ; /* Chapter 9.2.3.12.2 */

• /* FIXME: like service center time stamp */
  

• DEBUGP(DSMS, "VPI absolute not implemented yet\n");
  

• time_t expires = gsm340_scts(sms_vp);
  

• time_t now = mktime(gmtime(NULL));
  

• if (expires <= now)
  

• 	minutes = 0;
  

• else
  

• 	minutes = (expires-now)/60;
  

please declare the variables (expires/now) at the beginning of the section, e.g. the case statement or even the top of the function.

we might want to have some kind of treatment (or at least an error message) if the input BCD nibbles exceed the 0...9 range.

mh. We are no wending GMT but no timezone information, which I'm not quite sure if it is better than we did before. A proper solution would be to use the signed value of tm->tm_gmtoff/(60*15);

is this year '60' specified anywhere in the GSM spec, or did you just introduce it yourself? In the latter case, I would rather use something like 80, since GSM was not specified before the eighties.

Thanks again, Harald
