Well I've now installed gammu instead of wammu and it makes absolutely 
no sense to me. I typed gammu --help and it isn't very helpful. Trying 
to type any command it just says bad option, or that my phone is not 
configured yet. If I type gammu -c hoping that might configure it, I get:

Warning: No configuration file found!
Warning: No configuration read, using builtin defaults!
[Gammu version 1.33.0 built 20:18 on Jul  7 2013 using GCC 4.8]

And since there appears to be no help topic for configure, I have no 
idea how to even start with this unfriendly software.
