Re: null-modem PPP connection from Windows

[Wojciech Kocjan <zoro@in.com.pl>]

Hello :)

I had the same problem with nokia 9000 and ppp connections to a linux box.
The short script below is not mine but helped me connecting n9k & linux.

Anyway, try setting up a dial-up connection on windows, then minicom on
linux and answer "OK<enter>" to every AT command sent to you :) Also write
it somewhere and modify the chat script below :) Maybe modify the IPs as
well...

Try putting such a script into inittab or /etc/init.d as well.

Should help.

But may produce biiiig problems if your linux machine is a masquerading
server (especially with ipmasq package). But if not, then it's not such a
problem.

#!/bin/sh

       connect 'chat -v -t 864000 \

If you think before you speak the other guy gets his joke in first.
