Depends on how you connect the phone to the PC. If you use a USB cable, it is likely that the phone is connected as /dev/ttyUSBX or similar. Use the dmesg command to find out immediately after connecting the phone. Next, you can use a normal dialler, like wvdial /kppp to establish the connection. You can also use a similar procedure bluetooth; but I am not clear on the specifics. Please remember that most phones have 3 options in their menu - to connect to a pc - as a USB memory device; as a modem; as something else (like the "PC suite" option on Nokia devices. For connecting using bluetooth, you first "pair" your phone with the PC, and then use the options in the PC to establish TCP/IP over bluetooth. gnokii makes this task easier; but configuring gnokii is a real pain. wammu / gammu is for backing up addressbooks and SMS messages. Backing up would be easy; but writing data to the phone is a pain - my Nokia 5130 XpressMusic is supported for reading most date, but writing is supported only for normal address books. Thus one name - multiple number type and "group" type addressess cannot be written, but can be backed up. _______________________________________________ Ilugd mailing list Ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd
