mostly a networking question but I thought this would be the best forum for it.
I have Kubuntu talking via bluetooth to my nokia 6103, but I can't seem to get the initialization down.
all the information I have found on the net seems to be outdated.

so if anyone has any tips of suggestions they'd be appreciated.
BTW my phone works fine in windows
 
I donno. I have absolutely no experiance with cell phones.

With some sorts of phones I think that the cell phone is treated as a serial modem. (GSM phone?) Does your device show up as a /dev/ttyS0 or similar device?

You can probably tell what is going on when you run 'dmesg' command from the terminal right after you connect your phone. It should output some logging information.

If so then maybe something like this:

I've got it connected as /dev/rfcomm0 and it tlaks to the phone fine I just need to figure out what modem commands to send it
 
OK got it working, Turns out I was telling it too much info, I deleted most of the modem initialization strings and gave it the number to dial (*99***1#) and it worked. much simpler to do than write this. I haven't used linux in a couple of years and it's nice to see things just work 🙂

Oh and I had to tell it that the modem interface was the bluetooth device so it knew what to use.
