Iridium sat phones - tonipez - 2019-08-11

Hello,
please consider to add a feature to use Iridium portable phones and GO! modem for offshore connections, with XyGrib and text emails in mind.
I have found two useful links:
http://newt.phys.unsw.edu.au/~mcba/iridiumLinux.html
and this:
https://github.com/tdolby/python-iridium-modem/blob/master/docs/iridium-notes.md

Unfortunately I'm not a programmer, so I don't know how difficult it will be, but I really hope to find this upgrade soon!
Thank you,
ciao
Toni
