Title: PPP for OZ
Post by: baboan on January 09, 2004, 03:00:16 pm

I could connect very well with my Sharp ROM over a phone line with my CF Modem (although Opera would give me out of memory errors and close).

I then flashed to OZ (many more out of memory errors now on all apps but that\'s another story) and it doesn\'t come with a dialer, the CF Modem is recognized as such but I can\'t find any way to use it.

Any suggestions?

Loving all the info here, after walking through the desert it is good to get to an oasis.

There are some connect scripts in the openzaurus faq (www.openzaurus.org).

Interesting, do you know why and what apps?

Have you tried adding a swap file? (see the faq).

I don\'t know of a PPP client for OZ that will edit these scripts for you, so you may need to edit the scripts manually.  This links should point you in the right direction:

Since you will not be using IR and your modem is probably on serial 1 by default, look at the line:

user \'username\' /dev/ircomm 115200 -detach

I think should be changed to something like:

user \'username\' /dev/ttyS1 115200 -detach

For serial 2 it would be:

user \'username\' /dev/ttyS2 115200 -detach

I am not 100% this will work since I don\'t use dial-up modems generally and have not tested it, but it is a place for you to get started.
