Palm wireless networking via IrDA
Authored by: dhdosxid on Oct 08, '03 11:48:45AM

One thing, in particular, that confuses me is that PocketPC2003 seems to have a different interface than earlier devices, and is "wizard" driven. I don't even know whether to use my Bluetooth Manager's Connection Wizard to set this up with its "connect to internet" or "join a personal network" options or rather to use the "Connectivity/Connections Control Panel" to set up a new modem connection.

My preference would be to get osx to look like a bluetooth lan access point and show up in the Bluetooth Manager's Connection Wizard. The modem connection seems like the most likely to work with your pppd solution, though, yet the ipaq seems to only have options for modem dialup and not direct serial (even though the generic serial service was discovered by osx), and there is no chat program on osx to provide the dialog with the dialup script from ipaq. The modem types in "My Connection" settings on the ipaq is (1) Bluetooth Dialup Modem (2) Bluetooth Fax Modem (3) Generic IrDA (4) Hayes Compatible on COM1:. The "Advanced" tab of the Connections control panel shows three adapters (1) AsyncMac NDISWAN Miniport (2) PPTP NDISWAN Miniport (3) Bluetooth PAN User Driver. Each of those has settings for ip address, dns, etc.

Can anyone direct me to setting this stuff up on the ipaq?
