I'm trying to get things working under Win98 on a laptop with built-in
IRDA port. When I try gnokii --monitor, I get "Couldn't open PHONET
device". I assume the problem is that I don't know what to put for the
port in the gnokiirc file... I'm not sure if it uses a serial port or
something else, but even if it is a serial port, what naming convention
should I use for windows? "COM1"? I also have an external USB IRDA
device, how might I configure that?
Greg - first you have to compile in the IrDA support (it's not enabled by
default in 0.6.1), please read the README-WIN32 file for details, then
your gnokiirc just needs to contain:
[global]
connection = irda
model = 3360
NB: The IrDA device should appear in device manager as an IrDA adapter,
if not then you'll need to double check the installation instructions for it
:)
The PC should also notify you when it detects the phone nearby, if so then
you have a very good chance of making it all work.
The other issue is that I have a 3361 phone, which I'm told is nearly
identical to the 3360 -- maybe I would need to do something to add support
for 3361?
Try the 3360 setting, then 'gnokii --identify' once the phone is in range.
If that
looks good (you should get IMEI etc.), try other gnokii commands...
Phil.
