info on connecting with 5165

[James Gregurich]

hello all.


My name is james, and I am just joining. I am a MacOS X developer, and 
I am interested in writing OS X software to interface with a nokia 5165.

I've been scouring the web for information on how to interface with the 
phone, and I"m experimenting with gnokii to see how that works. I have 
a data cable that connects the phone to a linux box with a 9 pin serial 
port. I have tried running gnokii on the linux box and here are the 
results:

address@hidden bayou0]$ gnokii --getdatetime
GNOKII Version 0.4.3
Telephone interface init failed! Quitting.



I don't know if gnokii simply won't work with the phone or if I simply 
have it misconfigured. I have no clue what the baud rate and other 
serial port parameters need to be to successfully connect to the phone.


Here are my questions:


1) in principle, should gnokii work with my phone? If it should, can 
anyone give me any guidance on what serial port settings I need?

2) if gnokii does not work, should I be able to connect to the phone 
with the serial port and be able to change things like the phone book? 
If so, what are the details or links to the details?

3) I configured the build of gnokii  with "./configure --with-x"; 
however, xgnokii doesn't seem to be building. what am I doing wrong 
with that?


Any tips would be appreciated. If I get gnokii working on Linux, and it 
looks useful, I'll port it to OS X.


thanks,
James Gregurich
