  • You have the same problem I have: a phone that is only supported on Windows. I have a Siemens M55 (yeah, yeah, already a bit dated) and I bought the DataCable. I just "emulates" a COM port on Windows, but my iBook doesn't do anything with it. I tried to, but the only thing I found was a commercial package that would make it work (over 100$... No way!)
    The Windows support is braindead anyway, because depending on which USB port I use, a different COM is assigned. So I have COM1 and COM2 (real COM ports)

      • I understand Apple keeping control over the UI, but not giving out source for communications with certain types of peripherals doesn't strike me as benefiting anyone.

        Peripheral makers can get surprisingly pissy about not giving out "proprietary" information about their products, including drivers -- because that would (shock! horror!) give clues about how the things work. Witness nVidia's refusal to provide source to its XFree86 drivers or support open source X driver development, for example.
