Hi,
Unfortunately I invested in Nokia 3120 for accessing internet via PC(I was/am looking for a non-camera and non-song phone for the purpose). Is there any way I can get it working as modem on Linux atleast?
I have tried gnokii 0.6.12 on Linux kernel 2.6.16.2 and though slow, gnokii identifies 3120 successfully, though xgnokii seems to take ages to get contact details and often I have to kill the app.
I am trying with (non-nokia) CA-42 cable to connect to phone, and have been successful in using Nokia PC-Suite to view contacts etc. on windows, but again no success in using it as modem.
I don't know about the possibility of it, but is it possible that a software modem simulation module (if open source community or nokia themselves provides) can be developed that once downloaded and integrated with existing phone software allows nokia 3120 to be used as gprs modem?

If you're using the CA-42 cable then your phone (the 3120) is probably similar to my el cheapo 2112. As far as I can see the phone doesn't have a serial port -- there is a USB-Serial converter built into the cable itself.
The converter chipset is an ARK 3116, drivers for which are built into the Linux kernel 2.6.17. So just upgrade your kernel (hand-roll one) and be sure to compile the ark3116 driver module in, and you should be up and running.

Hello Sandeep,
There is an efficient and easy to use tool named ' GPRS Easy Connect ' to get GPRS connection on GNU/Linux. You can download it from the following link.
