Information on connecting a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palm_OS PalmOS] device to a Debian system via Bluetooth. Note that most of this material is shamelessly stolen from [http://www.newt.com/debian/treo650.html here].
Configuring a Bluetooth Connection
On the Debian System
The first phase of this process is the configuration of a Bluetooth connection between the Debian system and the PalmOS device. When this is accomplished, we will have a PPP connection between the two systems. We assume that Bluetooth is already installed on the Debian system; instructions for doing this are [:BluetoothUser: here].
Configure DUN
In /etc/default/bluetooth, make sure that DUN (Dial Up Networking) is enabled:
DUND_ENABLED=1
Set the DUN options as follows:
DUND_OPTIONS="--listen --persist --msdun call palmdevice
You may use any name in the place of palmdevice. Now create a corresponding file named /etc/ppp/peers/palmdevice containing the following:
115200 192.168.2.1:192.168.2.2 local ms-dns <IP address of your DNS server> noauth debug
You may, of course, use any suitable private IP addressing scheme in place of the one given, and ms-dns should be set to the names of your DNS servers, or 127.0.0.1 if you have local DNS or do not require any name resolution. Now restart the bluetooth subsystem:
/etc/init.d/bluetooth restart
