I got a private reply from Henning Stoll <address@hidden>, who had
apparently the very same problem:

meanwhile I sent my phone to nokia for repair (still waiting for getting

!!! This means that gnokii is not usable with the 6100 if one does not
want to risk to break it (or it's software) !!!

My question: does anyone use successfully gnokii with the nokia 6100 (over
the infrared port) ?
