| Hi,
I understand that the built-in modem in Jornada 720 is a "soft-modem" and getting this to work in Linux is virtually impossible.. By any chance... someone has get this to work?
I guess the next option is to use the 720 serial-port and hook it up to a normal serial modem. Do you guys think this will work? If yes, any pointers to get this setup? Thanks alot.
regards,
thamch

| Rumor has it that somebody got as far as getting a dialtone, but nothing else. As for your serial port idea it should work as long as you know the correct pin out. Somebody on this forum had made a makeshift serial cable to use a serial mouse with the 720. So if you're crafty enough, it should be very doable.
Cheers. | |

| The modem may be related to the one on the Dreamcast, which is Linux supported. However, not much development has been done, as the modem is not viewed as a priority. | |

| Wouldn't it be possible to just use a modem PCMCIA card instead ? | |

| If it is Linux supported, yes. | |

| Hi,
Thanks for all the suggestions.. Hmm.. think I will try using a PCMCIA modem instead.
If I am able to get a Linux supported modem and manage to get it detected... what are the things that I have todo to get it dial-up to my ISP? Is there an opie 'dial-up' application for this or I have to do it the cmd line way.. Some pointers will be great.. Anyone has done this before? Thanks.
regards,
thamch
