| Gnokii cannot connect to the phone. Possible reasons are:
|
|    * wrong serial port is defined in gnokii config file
|    * you are using the wrong cable
|    * you are using not supported phone model
|    * you don't have permission to write to /dev/ttySX device

It at least states, that the wrong cable can be the reason. And as
stated before there's lack of a doc maintainer.

>From the fonesync page:

1 Are you using a Nokia 3100 or 8100 series phone?  
FoneSync is not compatible with the Nokia Datasuite cable DAU-4F. If you
are using this cable we recommend you purchase a FoneSync cable
DAU-4S. Please visit our purchase page by clicking on 'Buy' to the right
