Nope, DAU4S is the MBUS cable, DAU4F is FBUS, according to some older
mails in this list.

Because this is not a FAQ? At least I never heard of a DAU4* cable
before. And for the moment developers are pretty busy. One has to admit
that documentation isn't really the strong part of gnokii. Hopefully
someone finds the time after the 0.4.0 release. I do not have the
slightest idea what the differences between DAU9P and DAU4F/S are, but
according to README.3110 the DAU4* cables are meant for 3110, 8110 etc.
