.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP 
.B gnokiid

is a tool from the gnokii tool suite used to create a virtual modem device
with a Nokia portable telephone.  The virtual modem device is usually
accessed via a symbolic link called /dev/gnokii (created automatically by
\fBmgnokiidev\fR(8)). Please note that you don't need a virtual modem when
you have real modem accepting AT Hayes commands (most of the modern
phones). gnokiid was written for the phones that supported data transfer
but didn't expose AT layer (namely Nokia 6110, 6130, 6150, 5110, 5130).

.PP 
After 
.B gnokiid
has created the virtual modem, it can be accessed like any other Hayes\-compatible modem by such programs as the terminal program \fBminicom\fR(1) or the PPP daemon \fBpppd\fR(8) to make standard data connections to remote computers.

.PP 
The full range of portable telephone functions (SMS messaging, phone book, operator logos, etc.) are accessed using the command\-line program \fBgnokii\fR(1) or the graphical interface program \fBxgnokii\fR(1x).
