Which still hasn't answered my question.  Do you _think_ this should work on
a TDMA phone - in which case I'd be happy to try to help just as soon as I
figure out why I can't even run 0.4 - or has gnokii been written
specifically for GSM phones and could not possibly run on TDMA (which makes
little sense to me, as we're talking about connections to the device, not to
the phone system)?
