RE: [iPAQ] [Familiar] Serial Issues

Just in the event that you're running this as a Linux (running iptables) to iPAQ set
up ... here is the script I use to make my serial connection (note I now I have two
lines for the different baud rates now)

#!/bin/sh

# Set up the ppp link
/usr/sbin/pppd /dev/ttyS0 57600 192.168.100.1:192.168.100.2 nodetach local noauth
nocrtscts lock user ppp connect "/usr/sbin/chat -v -t3 ogin--ogin: ppp" &

#/usr/sbin/pppd /dev/ttyS0 115200 192.168.100.1:192.168.100.2 nodetach local noauth
nocrtscts lock user ppp connect "/usr/sbin/chat -v -t3 ogin--ogin: ppp" &

#brief pause
sleep 10

# yeah I should just enable this anyway but ...
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

# start some masq'ing rules
iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING -j LOG -s 192.168.100.2/32
iptables -I FORWARD -d 192.168.100.2/32 -j LOG
iptables -I FORWARD -s 192.168.100.2/32 -j LOG
iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING -j MASQUERADE -s 192.168.100.2/32
iptables -I FORWARD -s 192.168.100.2/32 -j ACCEPT
iptables -I FORWARD -d 192.168.100.2/32 -j ACCEPT

#end
