I have installed OpenBSD 3.8 in a laptop with a winmodem so I can't
connect to the internet with it but recently by chance I realised that
OpenBSD3.8 recognised the bluetooth adapter I had plugged in on the USB, a
Belkin v1.2 10m range, during boot up time it highlited it and
acknowledged the model.
Since I also own a mobile phone with bluetooth I could use it as a modem,
I know it works as I have already used it this way from Windows XP and
although data is quite expensive text only mode works out fine. Now the
problem I have with OpenBSD is this:
I configured ppp.conf with the phone number I have to dial to connect to
the internet which is *99# (yes an asterisk and a hash but that is the
number, and it works with windows), then I configure the password and
username I save the ppp.conf and:
------------------------------------
#ppp myisp
Working in interactive mode
using interface: tun0
#dial
Warning:Chat script failed
-----------------------------------
Something is failing and I am quite new in Unix and OpenBSD I do not work
in IT, so some help appreciated, my main doubts are:
1) I write ppp.conf based on the ppp.conf.sample I do not know if I need
to delete everything that I am not using and it is not under the comment
(#) mark, in my ppp.conf I only leave scripts containing the modem device
and the part where my phone number is, I delete all the rest. Exemple: the
original ppp.conf.sample is 10k, my ppp.conf is 2k as I have deleted
everything is not used to avoid this interfering with the rest.
2)In the ppp.conf where it says modem device I leave the default dev/cua01
, I do not know if that is also the right one for a bluetooh device as I
dont think it was intended for that.
I havent got a clue about how to do any analysis,tcpdump or wherever if
anybody in the list has managed to use OpenBSD in this way please let me
know.
Thanks
