Ok, an update on the PPP/CE problem, with an unfortunate sticking point. ----
I have a Jornada 680 with Windows CE on it. I also have a machine with Debian 2.1 installed on it. The two are connected through a serial cable on /dev/ttyS1. I execute: pppd -detach crtscts lock 192.168.0.7:192.168.0.69 /dev/ttyS1 19200 debug And I see on the palmtop: "Connecting to Host." It goes through four retries, then fails. The log on the linux box reads: Jan 3 09:31:25 gold pppd[403]: pppd 2.3.5 started by mike, uid 0 Jan 3 09:31:26 gold pppd[403]: Using interface ppp0 Jan 3 09:31:26 gold pppd[403]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyS1 Jan 3 09:31:26 gold pppd[403]: sent [LCP ConfReq id=0x1 <asyncmap 0x0> <auth pap> <magic 0x4ab91141> <pcomp> <accomp>] Jan 3 09:31:47 gold last message repeated 7 times Jan 3 09:31:48 gold pppd[403]: Modem hangup Jan 3 09:31:48 gold pppd[403]: Connection terminated.
