Security and Networking / How-TO: Connet CF GPRS/GSM (AudioVox RTM8000) to internet

« on: June 11, 2005, 12:35:51 am »

Hello fellow Z, Tmobile, RTM-8000 users!!

Well, I wish I was one.
Over the last two days I've ditched the old Zaurus OS for Opie (great!), networked it to my Linux box (piece o' cake) and religiously copied the instructions WRT the RTM8000. I enviously look at all the error output people report and wish I could paste some here but I don't have any. I 'pppd call gprs', hit enter and the system returns calmly to the command prompt.
Something is going on because I see steady green blinking from the modem, followed by a red light, then it stops. After about 30 secs it starts again and does the same thing.
I LOOKS like the modem is dialing and failing, then trying again.
ps shows me a ppp connection building for about 5 seconds and then vanishing, and nothing more.
I'm using Opie 3.5.3, kernel 2.4.18. I had loaded the serial_cs module (which I noticed remained unused) and then unloaded it when I read later that it was probably no longer necessary.

Some output would be good. I'm hornswoggled.

Any suggestions?
