NAME
     mgnokiidev - links /dev/gnokii to a virtual modem

SYNOPSIS
     mgnokiidev /dev/pts/?

DESCRIPTION
     mgnokiidev  is  a	tool  from the gnokii tool suite used to create the link
     /dev/gnokii that points to a pseudo-tty (/dev/pts/?).

     It is called after gnokiid has created a virtual modem that is attached  to
     the pty.  It's operation is transparent under normal usage as gnokiid takes
     care of calling it when required.

     Since  mgnokiidev must modifiy files in /dev, it must be either run as root
     or SUID root.  The latter is the preferred method.  Normally the mgnokiidev
     binary is chmod 4750 and owned by root.gnokii.

     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.

DIAGNOSTICS
     Various error messages are printed to STDERR.

BUGS
     None reported.
