For Sale / Wanted / For Sale: Zaurus Sl5500 + Extras

« on: October 14, 2005, 06:10:45 pm »

Due to lack of use recently, I have decided to sell my beloved Zaurus SL 5500.

Items:

Zaurus SL5500 boxed with cradle, power, manuals, and software. Approx 3 years old.
Wireless 11Mbps ( B ) Lan Card
Kingston 256Mb SD card
32Mb CF Card
Travel power kit including retractable USB cable, so should work in most if not all countries.
Spare stylus incorporating a pen.

The SL5500 is currently installed with the Hentges 3.5.3 Rom, and is very stable. I can revert it back to the original sharp rom if the purchaser wishes.

It has been well used and the outer casing shows light scratching. The screen is in good condition as the cover has always been used. The battery is in good condition.

I am based in Scotland, UK and will ship world wide. Will be shipped with insurance/recorded where possible.

£100 + shipping.

I am happy to accept paypal.

I can be contacted initially by pm, or at yahoo.com using my login name here.

Hi!

On setting up opiemail, I can add a pop and smtp host. When I go back to the main screen, open the host, then select INBOX I get "Error initializing folder".

Can anybody help me out? I've tried searching but to no avail.

Thanks.

« on: November 16, 2004, 09:38:57 am »

I've tried this with OZ 3.5.1, but the "ircomm" command isn't installed.

Can anybody tell me if I can do the above with 3.5.1?

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / IRDA, PPP using Nokia

« on: September 05, 2004, 02:30:16 pm »

Here's how I configured my SL5500-OZ3.2 to use my Nokia 6310i as an IR modem.

Edit: Please note that this only works with OZ 3.2.

1. Make sure you have ppp installed, and the IRDA applet.

2. Make sure the IRDA applet is running on the taskbar (Settings/Launcher/Taskbar)

3. Open a Konsole.

4. go to /etc/ppp. You will find the following files:
- ip-down
- ip-up
- no_ppp_on_boot
- options
- options.ttyXX

5. move options to options.old (mv options options.old)

6. create a new options file (touch options). Edit this file to the following:

lock
modem
crtscts
asyncmap 0
mtu 1524
mru 1524
noipdefault
ipcp-accept-local
ipcp-accept-remote
noauth
defaultroute
debug

7. create a new file called chat-isp with the following contents:

ABORT 'NO CARRIER'
ABORT 'ERROR'
ABORT 'NO DIAL'
ABORT 'BUSY'
"" ATe1
""
ATZ
OK
"ATDT your-isp-number"
CONNECT ' '
ogin: your-username
ssword: your-password

Change your-isp-numer, your-username and your-password to whatever you use.

8. create a directory called peers

9. go into this directory and create a file called isp (touch isp) containing:

ircomm 115200 crtscts
connect '/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/ppp/chat-isp'
noauth

10. go back to /etc and edit resolve.conf and add your nameservers:

nameserver XX.XX.XX.XX
nameserver XX.XX.XX.XX

etc.
11. Now your ready to connect. Switch IR on your phone and make sure it's a couple of inches away from the ir port on the Zaurus.

12. Enable IR from the taskbar applet and Enable Discovery. It should pick up your phone.

13. At the Konsole, type the following:

pppd call isp

14. Your phone should start to dial.

15 Leave it a couple of seconds, then start your web browser. You should be able to surf!

16. When your done, hang up your phone and switch of IR.
