I have been trying to access my Nokia 6230 using a DKU-2 data cable from
CentOS, with some weird results.

I fought this battle on a Fedora Core system (even to the point of making a standalone kernel module out of gnokii's DKU2 support), and let me tell you -- in the end, it's not worth it and you don't get a lot of features.(*)

My personal recommendation is to buy a cheap Bluetooth USB dongle ($15 Belkin works great) and use that instead, along with "gammu":

My 6230(b) works perfectly over BT with gammu, full filesystem management, contacts/sms/etc. backup and restore, modem use - all that and a bag of chips. I use a Symbian device these days, but I can't imagine the 6230 support has been broken.

$0.02 USD
