Yes, exactly. > quite surprised my phone needed a usb->serial converter (something all > the Ericsson's seem to need) -- but I wondered if the nokias do -- they > just have a standard USB device port on the phone?!

They provide a CDC ACM modem interface (for internet access over GPRS), and CDC OBEX interfaces. > Which leads me to my next question: something using the openobex > libraries should just be able to point themselves at the /dev obex > device files, and be off to the races? Well, that's how it works with my patch. But a better way to do this is to add USB transport support to openobex (not the USB-to-serial), so that openobex would use libusb to do USB bus scanning and communication. -- Alexander Homepage: http://www.sensi.org/~ak/ ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: YOU BE THE JUDGE.
