It is a cable that connects Nokia mobile phones (like the 6100, for example) to a computer. On the computer-side, it features an USB plug with some built-in electronics, while on the phone-side there's a "non-standard" plug that Nokia folks call PopPort. In practice, however, this cable seems to be nothing more than a normal USB-to-serial-adaptor, since: (1) there's also a "real" serial cable available that can be used for the same purpose as this USB thing; and (2) under Windows, this USB thing basically provides you with a virtual COM port that you can use to send AT-commands to the phone, or use Nokia's own utilities over. So, any experiences anyone if there's a chance to get this very cable, or USB-to-serial-adaptors in general, to run under FreeBSD? I currently don't think that such stuff supported, so I expect I'll have to go out and purchase the above mentioned "real" serial cable if I want to access my phone from FreeBSD. However, I thought I'd might ask first, because - as always - I may be wrong. ;-) Greetings, Nils
