SYNOPSISgnokiid
gnokiid [--help|--version|--debug]
DESCRIPTIONgnokiid
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 auto‐
matically by mgnokiidev(8)). Please note that you don't need a virtual
modem when you have real modem accepting AT Hayes commands (most of the
modern phones). gnokiid was written for the phones that supported data
transfer but didn't expose AT layer (namely Nokia 6110, 6130, 6150,
5110, 5130).
After gnokiid has created the virtual modem, it can be accessed like
any other Hayes-compatible modem by such programs as the terminal pro‐
gram minicom(1) or the PPP daemon pppd(8) to make standard data connec‐
tions 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.
OPTIONS

device using the settings in gnokii(1) config file (if it exists).
