TCPSER(1) General Commands Manual TCPSER(1) NAME
tcpser - emulate a Hayes compatible modem SYNOPSIS
tcpser -d dev -s speed [-l log_level -t tracing_options] ... tcpser -v port [-l log_level -t tracing_options] ... DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the tcpser command. tcpser turns a PC serial port into an emulated Hayes compatible modem that uses TCP/IP for incoming and outgoing connections. It can be used to allow older applications and systems designed for modem use to operate on the Internet. tcpser supports all standard Hayes com- mands, and understands extended and vendor proprietary commands (though it does not implement many of them). tcpser can be used for both inbound and outbound connections. OPTIONS
A summary of options is included below. -h Show summary of options. -p Port to listen on (defaults to 6400). -t Trace flags: (can be combined) s modem input S modem output i IP input I IP output -l Log level: 0 (NONE), 1 (FATAL) - 7 (DEBUG_X) (defaults to 0). -L Log file (defaults to stderr). The following can be repeated for each modem desired (-s, -S, and -i will apply to any subsequent device if not set again): -d Serial device (e.g. /dev/ttyS0). Cannot be used with -v -v TCP port for VICE RS232 (e.g. 25232). Cannot be used with -d -s Serial port speed (defaults to 38400). -S Speed modem will report (defaults to -s value). -I Invert DCD pin. -n Add phone entry (number=replacement). -a Filename to send to local side upon answer. -A Filename to send to remote side upon answer. -c Filename to send to local side upon connect. -C Filename to send to remote side upon connect. -N Filename to send when no answer. -B Filename to send when modem(s) busy. -T Filename to send upon inactivity timeout. -i Modem init string (defaults to `', leave off `at' prefix when specifying). -D Direct connection (follow with hostname:port for caller, : for receiver).

gnokiid - create a virtual modem for old Nokia mobile phones SYNOPSIS
gnokiid gnokiid [--help|--version|--debug] DESCRIPTION
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 mgnokiidev(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). After gnokiid has created the virtual modem, it can be accessed like any other Hayes-compatible modem by such programs as the terminal pro- gram minicom(1) or the PPP daemon pppd(8) to make standard data connections to remote computers. The full range of portable telephone functions (SMS messaging, phone book, operator logos, etc.) are accessed using the command-line pro- gram gnokii(1) or the graphical interface program xgnokii(1x). 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. OPTIONS
If called without any options, gnokiid will set up a virtual modem device using the settings in gnokii(1) config file (if it exists). Oth- erwise, --help print out a short usage message --version print out version, copyright, phone, and serial device info --debug uses STDIN/STDOUT for a virtual modem DIAGNOSTICS
Various error messages are printed to STDERR. BUGS
