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
