Hmmm - There must be a problem somewhere. I tried to backup and restore
the Phonebook from my S25 via ircomm and wrote an expect script
round "cu".
For backup everything works ok. Send small AT command <10 Chars and
get a big answer (>50 Chars).
When trying to restore the Phonebook you have to send larger AT Commands
>50 Chars and suddenly you get not an OK - You get an ERROR.
I havent seen the reason so i tried to send every single char and suddenly
it worked without Errors.
Even with Cut'n'Paste you could not restore the Phonebook so it seems
to be a buffer problem in the IRComm or possibly in the S25.
