thanks for the binary. after ldd choking on the one i had before, i pulled it over to my linux box to run strings on it (why isn't there a strings port.. hrmm), and discovered it was linked to some lib (i forget now) that i didn't have. from there, i pulled down the latest gnokii source, and after many config and build attempts (disable libusb, remove the xgnokii makefile), and copying over the missing libXpm to my 770, i managed to get gnokii to run.

more fiddling, but constant I/O/connection reset errors being displayed on the console. I know it's making contact somewhere, but I can't make it play nicely. At one point, long ago, I was able to get my WM phone to respond to a AT sequence by writing to a com port, but now rfcomm and friends, or using a serial config in gnokiirc, are mostly choking. i'm going to try and pull down minicom and play against the serial port whilst I try and find some C code that does speak to WM5 via bluetooh for contact mangling (I've seen plenty of windows apps that will do this, so i know it's possible), or maybe pull out a dusty tome on bt connections and see what i can't hack together myself.

thank you for your assistance thus far. at least i know have gnokii running.
