How to use phone functionalities from Linux PC's?
 
Is there something like the below link available for Maemo. I use a Linux system (Ubuntu) ?

Can't the current OVI suite do this? (I still use the old Nokia PC Suite, since it does everything I need.) Not sure it's available for Linux though.

It looks like this one uses a custom app on both sides to do this. No reason you couldn't write a pair of apps to do this on the N900. I just doubt there's much of a need for it really. Especially since the N900 has a full keyboard, where most Android phones don't.

Nope, there's no OVI suite for Linux. A pitty.:(

I wanted to code something like this. But I don't know if I will do it. I am not aware of any similar programs.

Actually I have also wondered quite awhile why someone has not done SMS app for linux/windows that controls our little N900. We have some syncing todo-list apps and other pc<->n900 apps (like knots2) but IMO itīs PITA to send sms from n900 when you are using your main PC and have access to full keyboard. It would be quite nifty to have app on my pc that getīs popup when I receive sms to my N900 and then Iīm able to answer straight away from my pc.

AND yes I know that Iīm able to connect to my N900 with vnc and send sms messages from ssh shell but thatīs pretty much is too much work and works 90% time and also is not easy enough.

.edit
(of course over wlan)

..edit
Would it be possible to route sms messages over my Gmail IM account and then show the on any IM app on my pc and answer to them so that it getīs sent back to right person. hmm..

Made little script to make, answer and reject calls :)

Just set your phone's IP address and ssh keys (reverse).
Code:
#!/bin/sh
IP="10.0.0.240"; #Phones ip
do=$(zenity  --list  --text "What do you want to do?" --radiolist  --column "Pick" --column "Action" TRUE Call FALSE End FALSE Answer);
if [ $do = "Call" ]; then
        NUMBER=$(zenity --entry --text "Phone number" --entry-text "");
        ssh user@$IP 'dbus-send --system --type=method_call --print-reply --dest=com.nokia.csd.Call /com/nokia/csd/call com.nokia.csd.Call.CreateWith string:'$NUMBER' uint32:0';
elif [ $do = "End" ]; then
        ssh user@$IP 'dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=com.nokia.csd.Call /com/nokia/csd/call com.nokia.csd.Call.Release';
elif [ $do = "Answer" ]; then
        ssh user@$IP 'dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=com.nokia.csd.Call /com/nokia/csd/call/1 com.nokia.csd.Call.Instance.Answer';
fi
