gnokiid - create a virtual modem for Nokia portable phones

gnokiid

gnokiid [--help|--version|--debug]

gnokiid is a tool from the Gnokii tool suite used to create a virtual modem device with a Nokia portable telephone. The virtual modem device is usually accessed via a symbolic link called /dev/gnokii (created automatically by mgnokiidev(8)).

After gnokiid has created the virtual modem, it can be accessed like any other Hayes-compatible modem by such programs as the terminal program minicom(1) or the PPP daemon pppd(8) to make standard data connections to remote computers.

The full range of portable telephone functions (SMS messaging, phone book, operator logos, etc.) are accessed using the command-line program gnokii(1) or the graphical interface program xgnokii(1x).

Gnokii is a Linux/Unix tool suite and (eventually) modem/fax driver for Nokia mobile phones, released under the GPL.

Gnokii supports most phones from the 3810/8110 and 5110/6110 series, details including bugs specific to each series appear in the files Docs/README-3810 and Docs/README-6110 respectively.

If called without any options, gnokiid will set up a virtual modem device using the settings in /etc/gnokiirc or in the user's ~/.gnokiirc (if it exists). Otherwise,

--help

print out a short usage message

--version

print out version, copyright, phone, and serial device info

--debug

uses STDIN/STDOUT for a virtual modem

Various error messages are printed to STDERR.

Hmmm...
