This is possible using the file-sync plugin, though I think that
OpenSync is overkill for what you want to do.

You should try to use "series60" as the model, not "AT-HW". And if this
doesn't work, you really should try to get newest Gnokii CVS and compile
it. I can help with that if you want, though the channel #gnokii on
irc.freenode.net can also be very helpful. Certainly, Pavel (pkot) is
very friendly and tries to help people as much as he can, but the
"linker error" you're describing is a bit vague. Maybe you should just
try again and include all output from ./configure and, like the last 50
lines from make or so.

I understand that all of this may be frustrating for you, but phone
support is not one of Linux strengths at the moment. There are many
areas where linux is very good and user-friendly now (say, web browsing
and email), but some are not as developed as others. Maybe the situation
will be better in, like 5 years or so, just as accessing the Internet
with Linux is now much more straightforward with current distros than in
2001.
