Help with Linux and Cellphone

Ever since I switched to Alltel from AT&T Wireless I have
been looking for a cell phone that could interface with Linux. My
Nokia 6551i works good as a modem but I want to get my pictures I
took with its camera out of the phone onto my Linux home directory.
From reading the different pages for gnokii, gammu and mygnokii there
is a clue my phone may be using OBEX over USB for the file system
built into my phone. Is there anyone who has the same phone with the
dku-2 cable who was able to get their
pictures/addressbook/contacts/calendar files out of phone onto their
home directory?
Because my only windows systems are Windows 3.1 and Windows
ME, the included Nokia PC Suite software won't work as it needs
Windows XP.
Since I also know it does some work via the AT command set
in Minicom, does anyone have a list of all of the nokia AT Commands
this CDMA phone supports?
BTW it has built in a faxmodem that does class 2.0 fax
protocol, therefore gettting a linux fax program to send faxes should
be a snap. It also lets me call others besides just AllTel's web
system.
While on that. how do I connect to that? I dialed ATD#777 per
Alltel's tech support. Don't even get a PPP header just a connect
prompt from the modem.
If anyone has info on these topics I would appreciate any
help you can give.
