Yeah, I've been messing with this back and forth, along the following
lines:
(defun nokia-n900-send-output-keep (process output)
  (setq nokia-n900-send-output-kept (cons output nokia-n900-send-output-kept)))

(defun testos ()
  (start-process "n900-sms-dispatch" "*n900-sms-dispatch*" "pnatd")
  (setq nokia-n900-send-output-kept nil)
  (set-process-filter (get-process "n900-sms-dispatch") 'nokia-n900-send-output-keep)
  (process-send-string "n900-sms-dispatch" "at\r")
  (accept-process-output (get-process "n900-sms-dispatch"))
  (process-send-string "n900-sms-dispatch" "AT+CSCS=\"HEX\"\r")
  (accept-process-output (get-process "n900-sms-dispatch"))
  (process-send-string "n900-sms-dispatch" "AT+CSMP=17,167,0,8\r")
  (accept-process-output (get-process "n900-sms-dispatch"))
  (process-send-string "n900-sms-dispatch" "at+cmgf=1\r")
  (accept-process-output (get-process "n900-sms-dispatch")))

But running (testos), it doesn't even get to sending the first `at\r'. I think the reason
is, as the page says: When a subprocess terminates, Emacs reads any
pending output, then stops reading output from that
subprocess. Therefore, if the subprocess has children that are still
live and still producing output, Emacs won't receive that output.

And this is the case here, when you start the pnatd process, it runs and
then you're supposed to send the AT commands and wait for their output,
however the process doesn't terminate, so no output is received by
Emacs.

How around this?
