Help with a1200 as bluetooth modem in ubuntu

[Bruceleroy]

Does anyone have this working? If so can you spread the love.

I have everything setup but I need the dial commands to enter into wvdial.config. The pc tries to connect but I get errors on initialization of the modem for dialing.

Thanks,
Ubuntu 7.04

Thank you very much Raju, I've found a very nice well written and easy to follow guide in your wiki.

However I would like to know how can I use my phone as a modem in linux, could you please post a howto, I know you have tested with great results.

Thanks in advance,

Here is Raju's response:

Well, this should be fairly standard. If you're connected over USB, make sure the phone Setup is set to USB as Modem and connect the cable to the computer. With my computer the phone shows up at ttyACM0, and you can use /dev/ttyACM0 with your favourite dialer program (wvdial, minicom, etc.) to make data calls from the phone.

You could probably do the same with Bluetooth connectivity too. Use /dev/rfcomm0 (or rfcomm1 or whatever) as the modem device in your dialer.

So, this works with the following AT commands posted by Phenomenom, thanks!!!

ah, lol, it's cool but thanks for that.

Well, I'm using a Palm TX and what I needed to use for the Palm TX was a script that went into the settings of the GPRS connection. I am using the T-mobile WAP plan workaround though.

It took me a while to find that, but it was on the Howardforum.

If you tell me the service you are trying to connect to and the model of the Zaurus I'll gladly search and see what I can find. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Just change the bold address below with your Service provider APN

Haven't tested and I'm not sure of changing that address, but you should try[/i]

I am getting close. It opens a gateway with my phone but it will not stay connected. Here is the log from wvdial. Any Ideas?

I can see that it is transmitting and receiving data but it is not getting an ip from cingular.

@jfsx: thanks!!!

@Bruceleroy:I tried and had the same error:

The PPP daemon has died: A modem hung up the phone (exit code = 16)

I fixed the problem!!!!!!

*Unrelated (I installed Kppp. Nice DUN gui with alot of features)*

Seems strange but I found this on another forum and it worked!!

Add the following commands to:

/etc/ppp/options

novj
:192.168.0.254

Save the file and connect. Pretty good speed too....

I will post a how to if anyone needs it.

Edit: I have attached a how-to file.
