Problems with 3310

[Ian Harris]

Hi,

I'm having some problems getting gnokii to connect to my Nokia 3310 and I 
was wondering whether anyone had any suggestions or advice.  The serial 
port on my linux box works fine with a modem, and the cable I'm using with 
the phone works OK with LogoManager under Win2000.  At least, it works in 
DAU9P(MBUS) mode, but I've not managed to get it to work in DAU9P(FBUS) 
mode, despite the cable claiming to be 'auto switching'.  Not sure if 
that's relevant.

Anyway, compiled with debug, here's what I get from gnokki:  (Output is 
unchanged if I disconnect the serial lead from the computer!)

The more interesting lines from my config file are as follows:

rogallo:/home/geo/gnokki/gnokii-0.4.3# cat ~/.gnokiirc
[global]
port = /dev/modem
model = 3310
initlength = default
connection = dau9p
bindir = /usr/local/sbin/
use_locking = yes
serial_baudrate = 9600
#serial_write_usleep = 10000
#handshake = software
#require_dcd = 1
#connect_script = /home/geo/gnokki/gnokii-0.4.3/Docs/sample/cimd-connect
#disconnect_script =
[connect_script]
TELEPHONE = 07876777777
[disconnect_script]
[sms]
timeout = 10

If I uncomment the connect_script line, I get the following debugging info:
Serial device: opening device /dev/modem
device_script("/home/geo/gnokii/gnokii-0.4.3/Docs/sample/cimd-connect"): 
child script failure: normal exit, exit code=3
Gnokii serial_opendevice: connect_script
Couldn't open FBUS device: Input/output error
Error in link initialisation
Telephone interface init failed! Quitting.

It's the 'FBUS' bit that's got me thinking, as that's the option which I 
can't get to work under Windows.

Should gnokii work with any cable which works with, say, LogoManager, or 
would I have more luck with a different cable?  Looking at previous 
messages in this list regarding Nokia 3310s, the most common 'solution' 
seems to be to buy a different phone, rather than a different cable.  I 
will do this if necessary, but am hoping that it's just a software / cable 
problem that's easily fixed.  I've not tried the latest CVS version because 
all the docs point to V0.4.3 fully supporting 3310s.  To quote the release 
notes, "* Known Bugs * - None, we write quality software here... :)", which 
means that it's probably something I'm doing wrong.  But what???

Thanks for any assistance you can give,

Ian
