Hi, I am using a iPAQ 3870, running Pocket PC version 3.0.11171 (Build
11178). It runs on an ARM SA1110. I want to connect it to a Linux desktop that runs Redhat 9, so as to be able to transfer files. Some howto's I found suggested ppp. Here is the link I followed. Similar method is also mentioned on handhelds.org for establishing a ppp connection, he only difference being in the options of "chat".
formatting link
Both cases I am getting a "connecting to host" pop-up on the iPAQ, followed by retries and finally failed. The linux host says "connect script failed"
What might be the problem ?
here are the details, contents of /etc/ppp/peers/ipaq:
------------------------
-detach noauth nocrtscts lock #user ppp asyncmap 0 #connect '/usr/sbin/chat -V -t5 ogin--login: ppp' connect "/usr/sbin/chat -V -t7 'ATZ\r' OK 'AT\r' OK 'ATE0V1&C1&D2\r' \ OK 'ATS7=120\r' OK 'ATX3\r' OK 'ATDT' CONNECT" /dev/ttyS0
