the thing is to get irda all set up. minicom /dev/ircomm0 does the rest. The nokia (and all other phones, presumably) presents a regular hayes AT over the ircomm device. Then exit minicom without resetting the modem using ctrl-a,q and quickly start pppd /dev/ircomm0.
it is, of course, possible to do this all in a ppp config file, but that is another breidge to cross... >> Anyone have any information on how one would connect to your ISP via >> a cell phone and a laptop? >> >> Seems that all the info I'm getting from the major phone >> manufacturers Motorola, Ericsson and Nokia only work with either a >> data cable and some bullshit windows software/driver or infrared >> using only some more bullshit windows stuff. >> >> I have two possible machines an old P90 running only Linux with a >> PCMCIA modem card or my new MAC Ti Powerbook with a built in modem >> and infrared which will hopefully be running MAC OS 9.2 and Yellow >> Dog Linux. >> >> Thanks >> Joe >> ____________________________ >> New Yorker Linux Users Scene >> Fair Use - >> because it's either fair use or useless.... > > > ____________________________ > New Yorker Linux Users Scene > Fair Use - > because it's either fair use or useless....
