Title: Ppp On Oz 3.5.3 / Gpe
Post by: henrysviper on April 26, 2005, 01:10:57 pm

Hello everybody

Is there a GUI program for configuring PPP/dial-up on OpenZaurus 3.5.3 / GPE? I have a Targus CF modem that I would like to use for dial-up. The modem is recognised (shows up on the PC/CF Cards settings dialog) but on the "Network setup" dialog there is no ppp0 or similar interface to set-up.

I searched the forum for help but I didn't find any previous posts about this. Do I have to set it manually somehow?

Thank you for your time.

This one helped me with my ir-connection. Your just have to find out
what device your modem uses (/dev/ttyS1 or something like that).

On the Z, go into the Network applet in Settings
Say “Add”
Select “PPP” and say “Add”
In “Accounts“, say “New”
In “Connection name“, say “GPRS“. Then add the phone number, as described in the link above, and say OK
In “Devices“, say “New”
“Modem name”: “IR phone” (or whatever you choose). “Modem device”: /dev/ircomm0. “Flow control”: None. “Connection speed”: 115200. Say OK.
Say Ok again in the Configure Modem screen
Now make sure your new “gprs” connection is selected in the Network Settings screen and say “Start/Stop“.
Align the Z and phone and say “Start” to start the connection.

You also may like to install "picocom", so you can test your modem:

# picocomm -b 57600 /dev/ircomm0
. . .
AT
OK
