[t scytale]

ubuntu breezy, gnokii 0.6.8, ibm thinkpad t41p, nokia 6610, connecting over irda.

when i start up irdatadump: it shows my phone and computer are visible to each other:

13:13:13.072591 xid:rsp 801779de < 0000a08e S=6 s=2 Nokia 6610 hint=b125 [ PnP Modem Fax Telephony IrCOMM IrOBEX ] (27)

then i run gnokii --identify

during this process the following is output in irdadump:

13:13:07.530380 snrm:cmd ca=fe pf=1 801779de > 0000a08e new-ca=52

13:13:07.944215 ua:rsp ca=52 pf=1 801779de < 0000a08e (10)

this all happens after the first "Message sent" message in the gnokii output. after that all i see is again lines like 
xid:rsp 801779de < 0000a08e S=6 s=2 Nokia 6610 hint=b125 [ PnP Modem Fax Telephony IrCOMM IrOBEX ] (27)

~/.gnokiirc :
[global]
port = /dev/ircomm0
model = 6610
initlength = default
connection = infrared
use_locking = yes
serial_baudrate = 19200
smsc_timeout = 10
[gnokiid]
bindir = /usr/sbin/
[logging]
debug = on

i'm not sure what to make of this - the phone and laptop seem to be communicating over the /dev/ircomm0 device, right?
