Tekram IR-210B & 6110 - Hopeless?

[Gaute Amundsen]

Hi.

Problems problems problems...
Sorry to bother you all, but I am about ready to give up on this combo.

Correct me if I am wrong.
6110 is just about the last model in the nokia line that do not speak propper 
full blown irda, and the IR-210B is the only dongle that will not suport 
gnokis own infrared mode..

I don't have the feeling that I completely grasp the various relationships 
between all the parts of this setup however, and this ignorance leaves me 
hope :->

What I manage to get so far is:

Loads of nice irdadump waving of hands - ie. not quite handshaking.

With gnoki sett up as if the 6110 would talk irda, and some indecent fiddling 
with the source, I can get this:

and so on....


Killing irattach, and trying "infrared" mode the best I can manage is:

What I can not manage is to get minicom to talk to the phone.
Ther are some hints that it might be possible to use ir serial and GSMLIB to 
access the phone, but since I can not get minicom connected I have not tried 
this...

Now, what do you all reckon? Where should I spend my effort? 
Putting the dongle back in the packing nicely, and pretend I never opened it, 
fiddling more with the config, trying gsmlib or minicom, or perhaps having a 
go at the tekram code in gnoki?

As it is, it seems this is the only dongle anybody in town selling, otherwise 
I think I would have traded it in already..

As I said, I am stuck, so please somebody give me a hint.

Thanks :-)
