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

« on: June 30, 2005, 02:56:01 am »

Okay so I realized that I needed to make the connectgprs file an executable.  The new error I get is

bash-2.05# pppd call gprs
Can't get terminal parameters: Input/output error
Connect script failed

Any ideas what this means?

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

I have the Zaurus C3000 and the Audiovox RTM8000... I have tried the above approaches (from tamarian) using the GUI and then going the under-the-hood route with scripts.  Neither worked for me.  (However, I didn't try copying the serial_cs.o file, thinking that the newer Zaurus would come with the most up-to-date.)

Using the GUI... I never was able to press the 'Connect' button (end of step 5A).  It was grayed out--unpressable.

Using the scripts I got the following error...

bash-2.05# pwd
/etc/ppp/peers
bash-2.05# whoami
root
bash-2.05# pppd call gprs
/etc/ppp/peers/connectgprs: permission denied
Connect script failed

I was root when I scp'd the 4 files over (tamarian's steps 5B and 6).  I was also root when I issued the above commands.

Note that I don't have a username with my GPRS provider so I didn't know exactly what to do with those fields... I left them blank.  But I am not sure if that will work in the chap-secrets file for example.  I have no basis for knowing what will or won't work... just a difference I noticed.

Also, speaking of chap-secrets... I scp'd the file onto the Zaurus without looking to see what was already there.  Could have I lost some important stuff in that file when I copied over the original?  Does anybody have the original for the Z C3000?

Thinking that chap-secrets was a typo, I changed its name to chat-secrets with no success.  I got the exact same error as before.

Lastly, I am noticing a few instances of escape characters being inserted or taken away from people's posts... could this be the problem with the scripts?

Thanks folks!
