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

Hi,
I must admit I never tried that before myself on OBSD, but did use BT on
phones on different occasions.
I see several points of potential failures here.
1.) Bluetooth connection
Are you sure you have connected to the phone? Did you exchange Bluetooth
passphrase (a few characters, that you chose yourself) on the computer
and on the mobile? Or is the phone paired with your computer (it allows
connection establishment automatically)?
2.) GPRS/3G connection
when you use *99#, you use a GPRS (or 3G) connection for data transfer.
Depending on the phone model you use, you might still need to set the
GPRS (3G) access point correctly. So when you issue the at dt*99#;
commamd in a terminal window, does the phone start a GPRS (3G)
connection? This is usually indicated by some status indicators in the
phone's display. If nothing happens, you might need to set the PDP GPRS
context information via AT+CGDCONT= command. See
http://www.3gpp.org/ftp/Specs/html-info/27060.htm for more information
on mobile stations in the packet data domain.
3.) Your ppp scripts :-)
I'm not an expert here and cannot help here.
