The ARMmite is a USB slave, so it can't control another USB slave.
However the ARMmite-Wireless could be connected to an RS-232 cellular
modem. It would be pretty straight-forward.

I concur with Bruce's response.
I'd, like to add, however, that there is a USB Host device that could
possibly be interfaced with any Coridium MCU device.
Take a look at the MAXIM MAX3421E. It, when properly installed and
programmed, does facilitate making the MCU a USB Host, at which time,
it could then be used to provide connectivity to your server via a
USB Cell Phone. The MAX3421E is an SPI device and I can attest that
the SPI facilities of ARMbasic are pretty robust and capable.
The spec sheet for the device can be downloaded here:

Disclaimer: I have not ever used the MAX3421E, accordingly, I don't
know how much code it would take to facilitate acting as a competant
host, being able to fully articulate the devices attached to the USB
Host Connector that you would need to add, not to mention code for
using the USB device attached...
If anyone HAS used the MAX3421E, please chime in with your
experiences.
Happy Coding!
