When using gammu/wammu the device has to be configured to be detected as
a modem ("/dev/ttyUSB0") instead a mass-storage device ("/media").
Choosing between the two modes is something you have to do before
connecting the device, from the cell phone itself.
Also, if BT is available you can try with that (if your computer has a BT
adapter, of course :-) )

Then, I don't remember the bug, but I read it long ago, and there is not much hope to have it fix has the maintener stop maintening the faulty package. As I had a squeeze machine, I used it for my cellphone, until I changed it. Thierry -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
