Hi, you can't connect the phone from the PC (as far as I know). The Phone has to make the connection. Perhaps there is a way to do this, but I don't know. Sometimes the echo x > /dev/rfcommX starts an PPP-Connection, but this is not reliable. Just use some App like Opera, Putty or so (or the syncml-client, thats what you want) to connect your PC.
I think you don't have a Problem with gnubox. I had serious problems with older kernels (2.6.7 or so), where the USB-Implementation had big problems. Sometimes the connection is not established fast enough - just try again to connect (with some application on the phone).
