Add script handling on modem detection

[Enrico Mioso]

Hi all!!

I have a question regarding this - is MM actually the correct place to implement differenty dispatcher script calls?
Wouldn't it be better to build an external application monitoring different aspects and invoking scripts with the relevant informations?

Thanks,
Enrico
