Mac OS X 10.2.1 - 6310i !(?)

[Frank Groot]

Hi all,

First of all I am new to gnokii and irda.

Finally getting some results with gnokii 0.5pre, Mac OS X and my 6310i
All on my Powerbook G4-500Mhz.

Some steps :

- install gettext with fink
- copied headers in gnokii 'includes' folder. (too lazy to change 
system settings)
- after /sw/bin/gettextize copied mentioned m4 files to gnokii dir
- sh autogen.sh --without-shared --disable-nls (gettext could not be 
used as statically linked lib as far as I understood. Needed gettext 
for the definition of the AM_GNU_GETTEXT macro)

in .gnokiirc :
port = /dev/cu.IrDA-IrCOMMch-b
model = AT
connection=serial

And indeed I could read my phonebook etc.

Now the unhappy stuff:

What i really like about my 6310i is the ability to store several 
phonenumbers and addresses under one name.
Gnokii only mentiones the preferred number when downloading the 
phonebook.

Question:
I like to try the connection=irda setting. Indeed there is no 
documentation of Apple about the infrared port besides the usage as a 
normal serial port.
What is the difference between using a normal serial port or the irda 
port ?
Uses a gnokii irda special features not possible with a serial port 
protocol.
Or simply said :
If my irda works with model=AT ans connection=serial why not with 
model=6510 connection=irda ?

All tips and ideas are welcome.

Thanks
