Re: problems with gnokii and 6310i on linux

[Dimitris Stasinopoulos]

I already had the usb to serial converter, so I bought the cable without 
even thinking about irda, because in the past I had many problems with 
some irda dongles and a nokia 7110. To be honest with you, I don't think 
I'll spend 40-50e to get a dongle, and then later on find that it doesn't 
work, or that it works kinda like the DLR cable.
