1) look at the debug output adding such a section to ~/.config/gnokii/config

2) The "port = " stanza you specified in the configuration file clearly
refers either to a device in /dev/ either to a bluetooth address.
In the first case kernels modules come into play.
In the second case it's about bluez (hcitool / hciconfig).

Ensure the bluez daemons runs.
Then I'd advise to start with a simple:
$ l2ping [bt:mac:add:re:ss]
Then:
$ sdptool browse [bt:mac:add:re:ss]
If both succeeds, then run gnokii in debug mode and look closely at the
output.

You may want to ensure that the configuration section is correct and
that you specified it using the --phone option.

Later may also check that you don't have issue with device association
(like pin entering on phone side).

Hope this help.


Out of curiosity what are these farmers producing?
