gnokiid 0.6.5 and Nokia 9290

[James D. Bearden]

Howdy, 

I have a 9290 where (irritatingly) it works just swell as modem under 
windows via IR and serial cable. It's even more irritating because it's 
win98se doing both through USB converters. Running windows is fine for some 
things thanks to PuTTY and Firebird, but I would really like to get some 
real work done when I am on the road, which means getting the modem to work 
under linux. I would like to stick with the Nokia 9290 because I really like 
the phone, and I really like thr $10 a month it costs to connect with 
T-Mobile. 

So anyway, to make a long story short, I have gotten the modem recognized by 
linux, under both minicom and gnokiid. Some AT commands don't appear to 
work, but more on that later. The modem will dial (very loudly, BTW, I can't 
seem to turn the volume down on the modem under linux even though it works 
quietly under windows), but the modem will not properly negotiate and 
connect. It just never stops negotiating. Perusing the windows INI file, I 
believe I need to set "NORMAL_ANALOG_AUTO" with "AT+CBST=0" but it's onee of 
those AT commands that doesn't appear to work. I get no response, no OK, no 
ERROR, no nothing. 

So if anybody has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate them. 

These commands are in the windows INI file but don't appear to work under 
linux: 

AT+CBST=0;
AT+CBST=7;
AT+CBST=14,0,1;+CHSN=0,0,0,12;
AT&FV1E0&D2&S1&C1S0=0 

These commands do work under minicom: 

ATV1E0S0=0
AT+CGMI
AT+CGMR
AT+CGSN
AT+CGMM 

Here is the output of gnokiid as I fire it up:
