DESCRIPTION

15       gnokiid
16
17       is  a  tool  from  the gnokii tool suite used to create a virtual modem
18       device with a Nokia portable telephone.  The virtual  modem  device  is
19       usually  accessed via a symbolic link called /dev/gnokii (created auto‐
20       matically by mgnokiidev(8)). Please note that you don't need a  virtual
21       modem when you have real modem accepting AT Hayes commands (most of the
22       modern phones). gnokiid was written for the phones that supported  data
23       transfer  but  didn't  expose  AT layer (namely Nokia 6110, 6130, 6150,
24       5110, 5130).
25
26
27       After gnokiid has created the virtual modem, it can  be  accessed  like
28       any  other Hayes-compatible modem by such programs as the terminal pro‐
29       gram minicom(1) or the PPP daemon pppd(8) to make standard data connec‐
30       tions to remote computers.
31
32
33       The  full  range  of portable telephone functions (SMS messaging, phone
34       book, operator logos, etc.) are accessed using the command-line program
35       gnokii(1) or the graphical interface program xgnokii(1x).

38
39       gnokii is a Linux/Unix tool suite and (eventually) modem/fax driver for
40       Nokia mobile phones, released under the GPL.
41
42       gnokii supports most phones from the 3810/8110  and  5110/6110  series,
43       details  including  bugs  specific  to  each series appear in the files
44       Docs/README-3810 and Docs/README-6110 respectively.
