: Have a look at gnokii: www.gnokii.org
: 
: The command line app can send texts via an attached phone, 
: and retrieve most of the useful information from the phone, too.
: 
: My 6310 (what do you mean, "old"! :) ) works with gnokii but 
: seems to connect rather slower than my previous nokia, but 
: I'm using a slightly old version of gnokii, ymmv.
