Re: 2 cellphones on one cpu

Thanks for this, Daniele. It wasn't very clear to me the order by which 
gnokii looks for its rc file. I thought it looks for it in the home dir. 
If it first tries the default dir, then I'm sure your method will work. 
It would be nice if gnokii had an option which allowed you to actually 
specify the config file to use, something like: gnokii --configfile 
/dirpath/filename

Greetings to all,
