NAME
     gnokiid - create a virtual modem for old Nokia mobile phones

SYNOPSIS
     gnokiid

     gnokiid [--help|--version|--debug]

DESCRIPTION
     gnokiid

     is  a tool from the gnokii tool suite used to create a virtual modem device
     with a Nokia portable telephone.  The virtual modem device is  usually  ac-
     cessed via a symbolic link called /dev/gnokii (created automatically by mg-
     nokiidev(8)). Please note that you don't need a virtual modem when you have
     real modem accepting AT Hayes commands (most of the modern phones). gnokiid
     was  written  for the phones that supported data transfer but didn't expose
     AT layer (namely Nokia 6110, 6130, 6150, 5110, 5130).

     After gnokiid has created the virtual modem, it can be  accessed  like  any
     other Hayes-compatible modem by such programs as the terminal program mini-
     com(1)  or  the PPP daemon pppd(8) to make standard data connections to re-
     mote computers.

     The full range of portable telephone functions (SMS messaging, phone  book,
     operator logos, etc.) are accessed using the command-line program gnokii(1)
     or the graphical interface program xgnokii(1x).

     gnokii  is  a  Linux/Unix	tool suite and (eventually) modem/fax driver for
     Nokia mobile phones, released under the GPL.

     gnokii supports most phones from the 3810/8110 and  5110/6110  series,  de-
     tails   including	bugs  specific	to  each  series  appear  in  the  files
     Docs/README-3810 and Docs/README-6110 respectively.

OPTIONS
     If called without any options, gnokiid will set up a virtual  modem  device
     using the settings in gnokii(1) config file (if it exists).  Otherwise,

     --help
	    print out a short usage message

     --version
	    print out version, copyright, phone, and serial device info

     --debug
	    uses STDIN/STDOUT for a virtual modem

DIAGNOSTICS
     Various error messages are printed to STDERR.

BUGS
     Hmmm...
