SIM card reader

[Philip Creevy]

Merry Christmas everyone.
I just got a sim card reader and plugged it into
my PC (fedora core 3). It shows up as a usb to
serial converter "Prolific Technology, Inc. PL2303 Serial Port" and
seems to loads modules pl2303 and usbserial.
Just to see what output I could get I did DD bs=16 if=/dev/ttyUSB0 and I
get a screen of garbage.
Does anyone know if the is any programs available
to read and write to the SIM.

Regards
Philip Creevy

Also the a copy of GSM Spec relating to the packet types should be helpful.
