Dial-up Networking on the N900
 

OK folks i just got my N900 yesterday and im loving it so far. i got a question...seeing that my linux machine can access the internet through my dial up (via wvdial or pppd). can the same be done with my N900? im thinkn of this as a way to bypass having to use WLAN or even GPRS from my provider. what are your thoughts on this?

OP is right. I can do it with my N810 (thanks to Yodude and others), but can't figure out how to do it with my N900. Would appreciate some help.

Isn't dial-up networking connecting to the internet? Why doesn't the ordinary way suffice?

in my case i have to connect to a wireless wifi first then connect to a second dial-up connection to get internet.

The N900 has 3 ways to connect to the internet:

• wlan
• bluetooth dun
• usb networking

All of these are covered extensively in these forums, wiki, and other websites. If you have a specific problem not covered then please post details.

OK, let's get specific then. I was able to pair a N810 to an Motorola iDen phone via bluetooth and use the instructions provided by YoDude ("s=2") to access internet. When I tried it on my N900, it said there was no phone (something like that), and I couldn't go further. If necessary, I'll duplicate the process tonight and report back.
