Connecting to a Fly V90 mobile


I've got a Fly V90 mobile and I want to connect to it through my computer running Slackware 12.1. I tried to install the PC Sync 2006 software that came with the mobile through wine. However, I can't detect the mobile. The mobile connects to the computer through a USB cable.

So I tried to install gammu-1.20.90. But I don't have the slightest of a clue about how to configure it. I read the configuration part on the gammu site but it deals mostly with Nokia and other popular brands. This is what I found about the mobile on /var/log/messages:

kernel: usb 5-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2
kernel: usb 5-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
kernel: scsi5 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
kernel: scsi 5:0:0:0: Direct-Access TI Mobile Phone 1000 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5
kernel: sd 5:0:0:0: [sdb] Attached SCSI removable disk
kernel: sd 5:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg1 type 0


Can anyone tell me what my config file has to say wit respect to the "Port" and "Connection" options in gammu-config?

Or if anyone has found a way to connect using PC Sync 2006 using wine, pls tell me what I have missed. I have a feeling its the USB driver that I messed up.

Thanks in advance.

Running the sync app with Wine will not work, as Wine doesn't access the hardware directly.

But, seeing from the message:

kernel: sd 5:0:0:0: [sdb] Attached SCSI removable disk

It might have created an USB storage device in /dev, usually is sdb1. (my Nokia 6085 does this, and when mounted, it can transfer files).

As for the other sync features (contacts, messages, etc...) likely you are out of luck.

Thanks. I have been looking for solutions. I would like a GUI based application and so I tried kmobiletools. But I can't even configure the phone. When I try to choose the mobile phone device as /dev/sdb it gives me an error. There is no /dev/sdb1. What should I specify as the device node?

Thanks again.
