New to OpenMoko

[Tim Murphy]

To the best of my knowledge, Telstra's 3G network (Australia) runs on
850MHz, which isn't supported at the moment.  There was a discussion about
the support of this frequency not too long back.

Hi Folks,
I've flashed the rootfs and a new kernel.

So then I got all excited and inserted my SIM into it and powered up.

Turns out I should have read some more.  My current phone (Nokia N80 - can I
run openmoko on that?), is a 3G phone and it seems that the neo doesn't like
it.

I then stole one of my teams SIM and it fired up fine.  I get a GSM signal
but cant make phone calls.

I am still finding my way around the phone. 

I noticed that the icons disappeared from the home page, anyway I'm off to
investigate the machine.

One thing though

cu -l /dev/ttyACM0 

Only gives errors at present
cu: open (/dev/ttyACM0): Permission denied
cu: /dev/ttyACM0: Line in use


My Linux systems skills obviously need honing.

Anyway, I'll head off and study now.

Stay well,
Barry
