Hi,
I recently (as in, two days ago) acquired a new laptop, a 12" Apple
PowerBook G4. This thing has bluetooth; so does my Nokia.
Right now, I'm trying to connect to the Internet using the laptop and
the Nokia, which doesn't seem to work. I did get it to work using IrDA
on my previous laptop, but a) that was an i386 laptop, b) it was over
IrDA instead of bluetooth, and c) the reason I bought this laptop is
because the previous one was stolen from me -- so I can't look up how I
did everything anymore.
After configuring everything, this is what appears in my syslog when I
try to connect:
|Oct 21 01:29:41 localhost pppd[10896]: pppd 2.4.2 started by wouter, uid 1000
|Oct 21 01:29:41 localhost hcid[3587]: link_key_request (sba=00:0D:93:10:92:B6, dba=00:60:57:30:38:D8)

|Oct 21 01:30:03 localhost chat[10897]: -- got it
|Oct 21 01:30:03 localhost pppd[10896]: Serial connection established.
|Oct 21 01:30:03 localhost kernel: divert: not allocating divert_blk for non-ethernet device ppp0

|Oct 21 01:30:16 localhost pppd[10896]: Connection terminated.

|Oct 21 01:30:28 localhost pppd[10896]: Terminating on signal 15.
|Oct 21 01:30:28 localhost pppd[10896]: Exit.
While this happens, I can see the Nokia does set up the connection;
however, it drops the line somewhere between the "Connect: ppp0 <-->
/dev/rfcomm0" and te "Serial line is looped back" message. When that
happens, it appears as if pppd does not immediately notice.
I'm not sure why it doesn't work; Any hints would be greatly
appreciated.

I looked at it a few times in the past, and it never worked with the
particular quirks of my provider.
In the mean time, though, I found out what the problem was. I had to add
"user <username>" and "usepeerdns" directives to the peers/provider
file; now everything works smoothly.
Next, try and get GPRS working. But to do that, I shouldn't need your
help anymore. Thanks!

you should really try the wvdial program, because it always did the
right job for me.

Tried that; it didn't, same problem.

what kernel version is this? Maybe it is a kernel bug in the PPP code or
your settings for pppd are simply wrong. Try other dialers like wvdial.

2.6.8, the one distributed with Debian Sarge (package
kernel-image-2.6.8-powerpc version 2.6.8-6). Note, they have a few
Debian-specific patches; I'll try with vanilla 2.6.9 and see whether
that works.

That's most certainly possible, since I'm not a PPP guru; however, the
following doesn't look incorrect to me:
|wouter@country:/etc/ppp/peers$ egrep -v '(^#|^$)' provider
|noauth
|connect "/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/chatscripts/provider"
|defaultroute
|/dev/rfcomm0
|115200
|persist
/etc/chatscripts/provider:
|ABORT BUSY
|ABORT "NO CARRIER"
|ABORT VOICE
|ABORT "NO DIALTONE"
|"" AT&F
|OK ATDT+3222750205
|CONNECT
which, I think, should work, no?
> Try other dialers like wvdial.
Hmm, I could try that, but I'd rather explore some other possibilities
before I go that route. If there are any, that is ;-)
