Has anyone used gnokii to connect to the nokia phone :-

Is it any good ?

It works fine for me, I really only use it for an sms gateway.

How to run it using USB IR adapter ?
It is detected by system:

Aug 21 15:01:16 goodyhome kernel: usb 2-3: new full speed USB device using address 3
Aug 21 15:01:16 goodyhome kernel: usbserial 2-3:1.0: PL-2303 converter detected
Aug 21 15:01:16 goodyhome kernel: usb 2-3: PL-2303 converter now attached to ttyUSB0 (or usb/tts/0 for devfs)
Aug 21 15:01:16 goodyhome /etc/hotplug/usb.agent[6250]: need a device for this command
Aug 21 15:01:16 goodyhome /etc/hotplug/tty.agent[6252]: add tty device /class/tty/ttyUSB0

I do:
#modprobe ircomm
#modprobe ircomm-tty

In /etc/gnokiirc:
port = /dev/ircomm0

It does not work:

# gnokii --smsreader
GNOKII Version 0.6.0
phone instance config:

port_device: /dev/ircomm0
connection_type: 4

And no any more reply until CTRL+C

I use GNOKII without problems.

Be sure you have configured the correct phone type in the gnokii config file

Do you use gnokii with USB IR adapter ?

No, I happened to have a serial cable.

When I still had a laptop running Windoze I never managed to use IR for the Nokia suite. From that experience I never tried it in Linux. Uhm.. I am not even sure I have IR working on my laptop.
