Well, I've tried rubbing all the connectors with my pocket knife's
screwdriver to make them shiny - is there anything else I can do to make
sure this isn't the problem?

When in the F position, I should be using "connection = serial", correct?

I've held it in place while someone else invokes gnokii, but still to no avail.

Tried repeatedly, but to no avail.  I just keep getting:

GNOKII Version 0.5.4
Telephone interface init failed: Command timed out.
Quitting.

I notice that some people seem to get more detailed info from gnokii. 
How does one get this?

Is anyone on this list actually using a 5110?  Is there a particular
version within 5110dom that I need?  *#0000# gives me:

V 05.11
18-02-99
NSE-1

It also looks slightly strange as 6 of the connectors look gold, while
the seventh is greyish.  is this normal?

I also have /dev/mouse pointing at /dev/ttyS1, as a legacy from setting
up the box, even though I now have no actual mouse attached.  Would this
be a problem?  If so, how do I fix this under SuSE?

Thanks,

Steve the increasingly frustrated and confused.
