Since reading this thread I've been playing a bit. My system allegedly has both kmobiletools and libgnokii2 installed. No idea how to access or run either, and as it's not a Nokia the online info is a lot slimmer. I did find TuxMobile which had Gammu (failed to install probably because the latest version is testing [or is unstable the later one?]). Anyway at the moment the phone is plugged in on USB and nothing can see it. Kmobiletools version is kmobiletools-0.4.3.3 installed from source with no errors in either ./configure ./make or ./makeinstall. No man page for it which is a bit of a bummer. I had a look at the README and it tells me to look in /proc/bus/usb/devices for the vendor and product ID and then run this: # modprobe usbserial vendor=0xYOURVENDOR product=0xYOURPRODID Problem is I can't find Sagem in the devices. Several with hex codes for the manufacturer. Could someone give me a hint what their mobile shows up as in /proc/bus/usb/devices please?
