I've now had some success, and want to report that here.

Some notes:

- I'm using GNOKII Version 0.6.4-CVS-20040709

- I'm using FreeBSD 4.10-RELEASE, with the author's patch, and (on
  a lark) the beta-ish USB 2.0 driver; from my config file:

    device ehci

- This device probed as above, and uses the ucom device.

- The phone not only reports 'data accessory attached', but also
  says 'charging'.

I only minially edited the gnokiirc.sample file:

  port = /dev/ucom0
  model = AT

And now --identify works:

  % gnokii --identify
  GNOKII Version 0.6.4-CVS-20040709
  IMEI         : 010282000587057
  Manufacturer : Nokia
  Model        : Nokia 6800
  Revision     : V 5.58

And I've been able to at least pull phone numbers with

  gnokii --getphonebook ME 1 end

So, at least now I've set the stage for getting some info on/off
of my phone.
