So where's the phone in that picture and list?

OK, it's the MS or the UE. The newer version of the diagram makes that a bit clearer (and is also easier to read by virtue of being larger, although it's a bit wider than the browser window size I usually use at home.

(The handset should probably be labeled "UE" in the UMTS part of the diagram.)

Is the "R" interface between the PC and the MS/UE formalized by any GSM/UMTS standard, or is that pretty much just a fake serial line with a fake Hayes-style modem?
