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 01:30:03 localhost chat[10897]:  -- got it
|Oct 21 01:30:03 localhost pppd[10896]: Serial connection established.

|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.
