      We had also reports from users of Gigaset M105 who could use the drivers
      with SX 100 and CX 100 ISDN bases (only in unimodem mode, see section 2.4.)
      If you have another device that works with our driver, please let us know.
-     For example, Gigaset SX205isdn/Sinus 721 X SE and Gigaset SX303isdn bases
-     are just versions without answering machine of models known to work, so
-     they should work just as well; but so far we are lacking positive reports

      To get the device working, you have to load the proper kernel module. You
      can do this using
          modprobe modulename

-     connection to the base).
+     where modulename is ser_gigaset (M101), usb_gigaset (M105), or
+     bas_gigaset (direct USB connection to the base).
+
+     The module ser_gigaset provides a serial line discipline N_GIGASET_M101
+     which drives the device through the regular serial line driver. To use it,
+     run the Gigaset M101 daemon "gigasetm101d" (also available from
+     http://sourceforge.net/projects/gigaset307x/) with the device file of the
+     RS232 port to the M101 as an argument, for example:
+         gigasetm101d /dev/ttyS1
+     This will open the device file, set its line discipline to N_GIGASET_M101,
+     and then sleep in the background, keeping the device open so that the
+     line discipline remains active. To deactivate it, kill the daemon, for
+     example with
+         killall gigasetm101d
+     before disconnecting the device.
 
 2.2. Device nodes for user space programs

      The device can be accessed from user space (eg. by the user space tools
      mentioned in 1.2.) through the device nodes:
 
+     - /dev/ttyGS0 for M101 (RS232 data boxes)
      - /dev/ttyGU0 for M105 (USB data boxes)
      - /dev/ttyGB0 for the base driver (direct USB connection)

+2.6. M105 Undocumented USB Requests
+     ------------------------------
+
+     The Gigaset M105 USB data box understands a couple of useful, but
+     undocumented USB commands. These requests are not used in normal
+     operation (for wireless access to the base), but are needed for access
+     to the M105's own configuration mode (registration to the base, baudrate
+     and line format settings, device status queries) via the gigacontr
+     utility. Their use is disabled in the driver by default for safety
+     reasons but can be enabled by setting the kernel configuration option
+     "Support for undocumented USB requests" (GIGASET_UNDOCREQ) to "Y" and
+     recompiling.
