[mdlug] How to load LG VX-6100/VX-8300 from linux

[Dr. Robert J. Meier]

Phone users,

I just acquired an LG VX-6100 and a friend acquired a VX-8300.

I understand both can be programmed from a PC.

Is anyone doing so?
How is it done?
What are the standard protocols for programming cellphones?
     What are linux tools for such?

TIA
