For the benefit of others who might be in a similar situation, I've finally
got it work and my notes are as follows:

- 6100 does not have a Symbian OS, although lots of symbian-related sites
  have info about it.
- Do not use the Debian wrapper /usr/bin/gnokii, use the binary
  "/usr/lib/gnokii/gnokii" directly.
- Check if getty has been put on /dev/ttyS0 by checking:

  lsof /dev/ttyS0

  If yes, comment out the relevant line in /etc/inittab and reboot.

The cable used to connect 6100 to the RS-232 port (Product code #18546;
Description:  NOKIA 6100 POP PORT DATA CABLE - SERIALCABLE) was
purchased from www.circuitcentral.com.au.

My os is Bebian Woody.
