Hi,

I suppose my Nokia 3220 is AT command compatible. To know for sure I want to try Minicom.

Problem is that I have USB cable and don't know how exactly can I activate USB serial converter. If I tell Minicom to use dev/ttyUSB0 it isn't enough, isn't it?

I use Mandrake 10.0, but other distros like Fedora 2 is on considering...

Can someone help me on this?

Hi again.

Before I tried with Sony CMD-J70 it worked fine, because I had serial cable (connected to COM port not USB).

Minicom answered on ATI -> OK, so it really worked. So if someone says that mobile Sony J70 doesn't work on Linux it isn't true.

Have you made sure that the usbserial module is loaded? otherwise load 'usbview' to see the connections, and then load usbserial as follows:
modprobe usbserial vendor=0x1234 product=0xabcd

Then the /dev/ttyUSB0 point should be sufficient. (I shall be posting with the next problem...)

I also use Mandrake 10.x

I hope this helps.

I loaded the usbserial module, by finding with USBview programme the right numbers for vendor and product.

Then I started minicom, but anyway how hard I tried changing any comm parameters (parity etc.) Nokia didn't respond. (on AT)

However one breakthrough though. I saw that when I reconnected Nokia cable to my mobile, in minicom terminal one dot was emerging.

So when I reconnect the Nokia cable, Minicom in its terminal outputs a dot. And then I started experimenting again with comm parameters and somehow when I reconnected again the cable it was not anymore dot but sign ">".

I don't know really what this dots and signs mean when I reconnect my phone cable. But anyway it means that the minicom is making something out of it.

So what about these dots anyway?
