Help implementing GSM/DroneCell modem with APMrover2

Hey guys,

I guess I should start by asking if anyone in this group has had any luck using a DroneCell for telemetry with APMrover2?

At the moment, I have all of the hardware setup and working, I'm just having problems on the coding end of things. I've found this extension here ardupilot cellular extension that I've been trying to use with no luck. The instructions have you add a few lines, here and there, to the code, then you copy over some libraries FastSerial and AP_Menu. I'm not sure when the FastSerial library was phased out, but it's no longer present in the latest APMrover2 build. 

That's one area I'm stuck at. For the sake of getting something to compile, I tried making the changes to the ardurover code, from which the extension was based from ArduRover 2.3, and all I can get is a Error Compiling message and the problems appears to be with the FastSerial library.

Any help or guidance with this would be awesome. We're soo close to having our rover fully up and running.

Thanks,

Joey
