gnokiid
is a tool from the gnokii tool suite used to create a virtual modem device with a Nokia portable
telephone. The virtual modem device is usually accessed via a symbolic link called /dev/gnokii (created
automatically by mgnokiidev(8)). Please note that you don't need a virtual modem when you have real modem
accepting AT Hayes commands (most of the modern phones). gnokiid was written for the phones that
supported data transfer but didn't expose AT layer (namely Nokia 6110, 6130, 6150, 5110, 5130).
After gnokiid has created the virtual modem, it can be accessed like any other Hayes-compatible modem by
such programs as the terminal program minicom(1) or the PPP daemon pppd(8) to make standard data
connections to remote computers.
The full range of portable telephone functions (SMS messaging, phone book, operator logos, etc.) are
accessed using the command-line program gnokii(1) or the graphical interface program xgnokii(1x).
gnokii is a Linux/Unix tool suite and (eventually) modem/fax driver for Nokia mobile phones, released
under the GPL.
gnokii supports most phones from the 3810/8110 and 5110/6110 series, details including bugs specific to
each series appear in the files Docs/README-3810 and Docs/README-6110 respectively.
