[Bluez-users] rfcomm pppd

[Bluez-users] rfcomm pppd

[Matthias Albert]

Hello,

now I'm able to establish a connection from my ipaq (running familiar)
to my notebook (linux, debian host).

hcitool scan -> list of all available bluetooth devices
 -> select the one I need
sdptool browse <bluetoothadress> -> gives me list of all availble
profiles

rfcomm connect 0 <bluetoothadress> 1 -> do a serial connection to my bt
device

rfcomm show -> give me a list of established connections

So everytime I do this, the pppd is starting. If nothing happens the
connection will be closed. Where can I define which program should be
started? I don't want that pppd is starting. I want to see with minicom
what happen on the device. Do you know what I mean?. So where can I
define this?

Kind regards,

Matthias

I don't understand what you mean. Do you establish the connection from
your iPAQ or from your notebook?

Regards

Marcel

Now I know how it works :). Im sorry for my not clear question.
Everytime I started "rfcomm connect" from my ipaq to establish a
connection to my notebook -> the ppp daemon on my notebook was starting
and using the rfcomm device. So I was not able to use minicom for the
rfcomm device. My question obtained how I can configure or choose the
program that should be started on my client (in this case notebook =
client).

But I learned that I can do "rfcomm bind" and after that I can use the
device with any program I want. If so I had to establish a serial
bluetooth  connection between the ipaq and a linux client and after that
I have to run a little java program to test javax.com.  And it works
perfectly :). Marcel thx a lot for your clear and excellent
documentation at

Have a nice time and a nice weekend.

Kind regards,
Matthias
