Trying to connect to a 6250

[Ian Stuart]

I have installed Gnokii (0.4.3) onto my i386 RedHat box, and plugged my
Nokia 6250 to COM1 with a Nokia DLR-3P cable.

The bottom connector works, as the handsfree kit responds, and the RS232
cable also comes up as a Handset

I installed the gnokii code as follows:

./configure --enable-debug --enable-xdebug --with-x
--enable-7110incoming

gmake
make install
make install-docs

I have a group, gnokii, with my normal user as a member of that group,
and I have re-logged in as that user.

I have edited the global gnokiirc file:
  [global]
  port = /dev/ttyS0
  model = 6250
  initlength = default
  connection = dlr3p
  bindir = /usr/local/sbin/
  use_locking = yes
  serial_baudrate = 19200
  #require_dcd = 1
  [connect_script]
  TELEPHONE = 12345678
  [disconnect_script]
  [sms]
  timeout = 10


To test the connection, I ran the command (as root): 
 gnokii --getdatetime

The program runs, but fails to actually connect
It does, however, dump lots of debug code:

What is going wrong? (and how do I fix it?)

I did look at installing the CVS tarball (gnokii-20021028), however this
has problems at the gettext configuration stage, and I can't work out
where it want's to put the various .m4 files... so that kinda stumped
that one :)

Many thanks...
