NAME

       mgnokiidev - links /dev/gnokii to a virtual modem

SYNOPSIS

       mgnokiidev /dev/pts/?

DESCRIPTION

       mgnokiidev  is  a  tool  from  the gnokii tool suite used to create the link /dev/gnokii that points to a
       pseudo-tty (/dev/pts/?).

       It is called after gnokiid has created a virtual modem that is attached to the pty.   It's  operation  is
       transparent under normal usage as gnokiid takes care of calling it when required.

       Since  mgnokiidev  must modifiy files in /dev, it must be either run as root or SUID root.  The latter is
       the preferred method.  Normally the mgnokiidev binary is chmod 4750 and owned by root.gnokii.

       gnokii is a Linux/Unix tool suite and (eventually) modem/fax driver for  Nokia  mobile  phones,  released
       under the GPL.

       gnokii  supports  most phones from the 3810/8110 and 5110/6110 series, details including bugs specific to
       each series appear in the files Docs/README-3810 and Docs/README-6110 respectively.
