It looks like a US version of the 6110 (http://www.nokia.com/phones/6110/), which is quite old as these things go and which I believe needs extra software such as the Nokia Data Suite to do data connections from a PC. The gNokii page (http://www.gnokii.org/) doesn't explicitly list the 6190 as supported, but it might still work -- only one way to find out :-) For a plain old serial connection a later model handset (7110, 6210, maybe the 6150, or the US equivalents of these) would be required.
