Same: 4.5-RELEASE, 4.5-STABLE, now it's 4.6-RELEASE with birda-0.8, then 1.00 ;) > > any help appreciated, but obviously, i'll continue reading the birda man > pages whist i wait :-) neuromancer# cat ppp-gsm #/bin/sh ircomm -d /dev/cuaa1 -y /dev/ptypa -Y ppp -ddial gsm If you want I could mail you my ppp config, but it really depends on your phone operator. The only major note is that connection should be made (in my example) to /dev/ttypa I'm afraid it's the only way to get PPP-over-GSM running using birda: IrDA chip should support sio emulation. If not, IMHO, you should wait until IrDA stack will be implemented into kernel... ;( btw, does anyone of committers work on it? It would be cool to have 100% IrDA under FreeBSD... Actually, I would like to control IrCOMM parameters (not only default 57600,8N1) and get more speed than 115Kbit/s (less need)... -- BR, Kirill Bezzubets CASE-RIPE CASE-RIPN Senior Administrator, Technical Department mailto:kirill@solaris.ru Solaris ISP & Telecommunications Co.
