Hi Alan. I'm going to presume that you mean the OmniGo 100 or 120..since
those are the only GEOS versions of the HP devices.

This could be a sticky point for you. Unless someone is an authorized ISV
for Nokia or a GW Employee, the answers will be guesses...so here's mine.
Since the Nokia is its own modeming device and it has its own libraries for
dealing with its communications layer, you'll have to see if there are
routines in the SDK for that device. This presumes you are an ISV for Nokia,
and you have that version of the SDK....if you're not...you're going to be
out of luck, because as I understand it, they have their own libraries that
you'll have to use to access the comm capabilities of the device and the only
way to get access to the libraries and documentation on them is with their
approval.
As an alternative, and presuming the device does have the standard GEOS
system services included on the device, you may be able to get away with just
using the SDK general routines that should be used in the OmniGo app...with
regards accessing comm capabilities. If not...your answer will have to come
from Geoworks or Nokia.
