LeoPPP 1.0 beta :-)

[leopardus2]

Here it is - the script that allows you to do PPP between your PC and your phone Please note I released it in a hurry due to popular demand, it has only been tested on A780, please report any differences.
README file from the archive below.
Enjoy!

DISCLAIMER: USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. i WILL NOT ACCEPT RESPONSABILITY FOR MESSED UP PHONES OR ANY OTHER DAMAGE MAY OCCUR DUE TO THE USE OF THIS PACKAGE.

This package allows you to establish a PPP link over USB or BlueTooth from
your computer to the A780 or E680. A PPP link can be used to run any IP based
application, e.g. telnet, samba, ftp, NFS.

The purpose of this package is to set up a link that allows you to telnet
from your host to the phone without having to use the Belcarra stuff.
It is not meant to allow you to surf the net from your phone using your
host Internet connection, but it could be used for that purpose, providing
you are able to set up IP addresses and routing on both phone and host
appropriately.

What I have tested:
- telnet from host to phone
- NFS-mounting a host filesystem on your phone (to access my 60 GB
repository of movies and mp3's)

Phones tested: A780, but should work with E680 as-is or with minimal
modifications.

Operating systems: Macintosh MAC OS X (but any UNIX should work fine,
eg. Linux) and Win2K (but I had troubles, see below).

PREREQUISITES: Yantz LinLoader - install this first.

HOW TO INSTALL

- Make sure Yantz LinLoader is installed.
- First copy leoppp.tar on the phone in USBMODE or using OTA.
- Switch to USB modem mode and telnet to your phone (see the FAQs if you
don't know how to do it).
- Unpack the archive: "cd /diska; tar xvf leoppp.tar", a leoppp folder will
be created.
- Launch the file manager on the phone and cd to the leoppp folder.
- Click on the LeoPopUp.jar file to install the java application used to
show messages to the user.
- Select the clickme.sh file, use "Open With... " to permanently associate
it with LinLoader (I use .sh as extension for all my script instead of
".lin")
- From the telnet session run the install.sh script and follow instructions.

When you will reboot your phone you will find three new leo icons and one
more Java app.


PREPARING THE HOST COMPUTER FOR PPP

First, you have to set up a dialer on your host computer do dial up a
connection to your phone. All the fields must be blank: no password, no
phone number, no nothing. For MAC OSX this is easy, just leave all blank,
be sure to select "null modem 115200" as your modem type. I think you
Linux users know how to fire upp PPP already, if not, check the man
page

For Win2k you will have to copy the leomodem.inf file over to your host
and click on Control Panel -> Modems. Be sure your BlueTooth
device is working properly and has SPP (serial port protocol) active, then
click on Add Modem -> click "I will select from list" then in the next
screen click on "Have Disk" and put the leomodem.inf file as a driver.
In the next screen select "Generic Null Modem" and "null modem" and you
are quite set up. Make sure you choose the right COM port in the next
screen, that should be the COM port your BT SPP service tied to (a
virtual COM port).

WARNING: on my Win2K box I had problems with this procedure. I use a
CSR BlueTooth dongle with WIDCOMM drivers (tried several versions)
and when I dial to my phone, the connection works fine, but suddendly
the SVCHOST.EXE process starts eating ALL THE CPU so the PC is practically
useless. Please try this on your own PC and tell me if it works for you!

HOW TO CONNECT TO YOUR PHONE:

- for USB: be sure you are in Modem Mode. Plug in your USB cable and wait
for a few seconds. Click on the USBPPP icon, when the message PPP started
appears, connect your host computer (click "call" or "dial now").
- for BT: bond your devices first. If you have to (eg Win2K) open the
SPP connection to your phone (not needed on MAC OS X). Click Dial, on
your phone a window should appear "accept SPP connection?" answer yes,
then go to phone's main menu and click on BTPPP icon... and you're done!

IP ADDRESSES...

I have set up the scripts with the following IP addresses (the IP of the
host side is assigned automatically):

host (PC) phone
USB 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.2
BT 192.168.1.3 192.168.1.4

... and yes, you can have both active simultaneously )

To see if it worked for you, ping the relevant phone's IP address.

Enjoy!! And please post feedback on the MFC forums...

OK so I guess most of you don't have the basic UNIX skills required to install it... well to run the script just do this:

cd /diska
./install.sh

damn i get this error message when typing that command: cd: can't cd to /diska./install.sh. I did manage to install the apps though, by editing the instappremovable.db and pasting the folders leoppp and leomsg in to diska/system/qtdownload.

[leopardus2]

damn i get this error message when typing that command: cd: can't cd to /diska./install.sh

these are two separate commands
first cd /diska (hit return)
then ./install.sh (hit return)

Hmm...This sounds complicated to setup...
Anyway good job Leo..... a great contribution...to the forum...

btw... I still not too sure wat this is suppose to achieve.. I mean the USBPPP.... I suppose this is the same as the 3-in-1 modem mode procedures purpose rite, juz that u make it support bluetooth dongles....is it??

Another thing, I am using Windows XP SP1... I am also using the CSR BT dongle u have... I couldnt get it to work ... it has errors like "incorrect license type"... n then it cannot detect the dongle... any solution???
