what equipment/service provider are you going to use?
I'm using t-mobil, unlimited data plan for $19.95/month.
I just bought a sim card; phone is
this:http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=478
I'm talking to plan 9 from cell, and have got to this point:
OK
at+cgdcont=1,"IP","internet2.voicestream.com"
OK
ATDT*99#
ATDT*99#
CONNECT
according to the t-mobil web site, I'm now ready to talk ppp.I've
started ppp as follows:
bind -a '#I' /net.alt
ip/ppp -f -p /dev/eia0 -x /net.alt &
not having done this on plan 9, I'm not quite sure what happens next. It
seems an ip/ipconfig is in order. I'm not sure what t-mobil does for all
this; many details appear to live in a windows driver. My reading of the
various gsm docs implies that the provider has to give me a private IP
address.
/net.alt looks like this:
/net.alt/arp
/net.alt/bootp
/net.alt/esp
/net.alt/gre
/net.alt/icmp
/net.alt/icmpv6
/net.alt/il
/net.alt/ipifc
/net.alt/ipmux
/net.alt/iproute
/net.alt/ipselftab
/net.alt/log
/net.alt/ndb
/net.alt/rudp
/net.alt/tcp
/net.alt/udp
hm. what would I ipconfig against? Time to go RTFWiki
