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 dou 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).

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.

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).

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.

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