Think I'm going to have to. Gammu doesn't support all the functions for 
my phone and gnokii doesn't seem to work at all. Just hangs connecting 
to the phone. I tried installing Nokia PC Suite in Wine (the Wine 
database SAYS that Nokia PC Suite is supported) but all I get is a huge 
scrolling page of errors..... :-(
