May I ask, what are you trying to accomplish? You have several phones
and want to detect incoming calls. Wouldn't it be best to use one of the
existing programs designed to communicate with those phones (gnokii,
Gmane, the Nokia Cellular Data Suite or whatever they nowadays call it)
instead of just monitoring the serial port (or whatever connection you
use) with your own program?

If you start to mess areound with frames and messages you have to study
the protocol - for which no official documentation is available - and
you probably end up writing something similar to the existing programs
anyway, unless your goal is very specific. If authentication is the
problem then there's not much else to do than study the code in gnokii
that some people with better knowledge of Nokia "secrets" have written
- unless you're prepared to use gnokii yourself and thus benefit from
what others have already done.

I'd like to help, but all I can do is to look up the relevant
documentation in gnokii and perhaps glance at the code, but Bozo already
did that. Perhaps you are taking the wrong approach to your problem, and
you should instead ask something like "how do I use gnokii to detect an
incoming call?" - in which case the solution is pretty easy, just fire
up gnokii in monitor mode (gnokii --monitor) and see what it says when
an incoming call comes.
