Between. The MUXer behaves like IP for networking, turning one physical modem into multiple virtual modems exposed through serial ports. > - what do I have to configure to get it working, i.e. point gsmd to > another /dev/mux_somthing? > > - what can I command via dbus? like: power on/off or stop muxing? In a nutshell: 1. Start the MUXer (using dbus system bus activation or by hand). 2. Request a channel using dbus. On the command line you can do this e.g. with: dbus-send --system --print-reply --type=method_call --dest=org.mobile.mux /org/mobile/mux/RemoteObject org.mobile.mux.RemoteInterface.alloc_channel string:foo you will be returned a path e.g. /dev/pts/3 3. Start your GSM daemon (gsmd, gsmd2, pygsmd, qtopiacomm) Optionally: 4. Request another channel and start another client, e.g. to read phonebook while not disturbing standard gsmd operation, or to talk ppp, etc. > - is there a .bb file? Sure. Check packages/freesmartphone/ in OE or use the ipkg from http://buildhost.vanille.de/fic-gta01/tmp/deploy/glibc/ipk/armv4t/gsm0710muxd_0.9.0%2bsvnr116-r0_armv4t.ipk :M:
