Using the TTL port on the RoboVasion (Edubot) Controller

[Leav]

Hi Guys!

I have a project in mind which should be pretty cool

I have the old EduBot/RoboVasion (whatever you call it) controller laying around, and also an old Nokia 3300.

I want to use the TTL serial port on the controller to read data from the phones serial port
(info here --> http://bible.younet.com/files/2004/05/13/150237.shtml )

The idea is to be able to read SMS messages that the phone receives, decode them, and have the controller act accordingly...

AC-on;PC-on;lights-off;

Cool, right?

So my problems right now are:

1. I lack basic knowledge in TTL port and general serial port communications.
2. I don't know how to read data from the TTL port or set the baud rate and other settings (on the controller).
3. Not sure how to communicate with the phone (something about AT commands??).

If any of you can offer any guidance on any of these subjects I will appreciate it greatly.
