I tried hard to telnet from my ubuntu 6.06 to my E680i phone. It didn't work. However after I googled for a while, I got a way out from wiki and motorolafans.

First write the following script on your phone.

#!/bin/bash
echo MotNet > /proc/usbd-switch
ifconfig usb10 up 192.168.1.99 netmask 255.255.255.0 mtu 900

Note that the ip 192.168.1.99 may be chosen to be 192.168.1.x or 169.254.x.x to flee from confliction with your computer's reserved ip's

Next plug your phone in via USB(modem mode) and run the script by Linloader
After that open a console from your ubuntu and you may try to ping 192.168.1.99, however you must configure the hosts network as follow

# ifconfig usb0 192.168.1.99 netmask 255.255.255.0 mtu 900

Now you can telnet to 192.168.1.2 and login as root. You may edit a text file via telnet by

# nano usblan.txt

If you want to copy files via GUI just open

Places > Connect to Servers...
Server Type : Windows Share
Server : 192.168.1.2/system

Unfortunately, this method doesn't work on my current ubuntu 8.04. You will need to recompile the kernel for Ubuntu 8.04 but for Ubuntu 8.10, the method posted here works right aways. For more information, please take a look at this entry.
