Nokia 6200 on Mac OS X and Linux

I bought a Nokia 6200 a while back so I could play around with EDGE, but I
really hate the Nokia DKU-5 data cable. The only computer I could get it to
work with was a Windows PC, and the Mac absolutely hated it. So, I dropped
about $70 on SmithMicro’s
QuickLink Mobile Mac
, and I have no regrets. The cable’s USB->Serial
converter identifies itself as a Prolific PL2303, which works great under
Mac OS X using the driver that SmithMicro supplies. Another pleasant
surprise was that Linux is happy to talk to it if you have the pl2303 module
compiled into your kernel.
