Telephone interface init failed

[Nicolas Vermeersch]

Hello fellow gnokii users,

I'm setting up a sms server on an old laptop with Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. I had an old Nokia 6020 around, and I bought the necessary data cable CA-42.

When I try to connect the phone with Gnokii 0.6.28 (I know), after about 30 secons it says: 
> "Telephone interface failed: Command timed out.
> Quitting.

> Command timed out.

Clearly the connection doesn't work. What's the reason for this? Only thing I can imagine is that the cable I'm using isn't an original one, but can that cause the problem?

Anyone who is using a non-original cable? Or what could be the reason I can't connect with me phone?


Thank you for all your help and thank you to the developers.

All the best.


Nicolas
