Does anyone know how to connect a MessagePad to the internet over a serial link? I have mine connected to my Mac via a KeySpan serial adapter. I was able to successfully make a PPP connection between the two:
On the Mac
sudo /usr/sbin/pppd -detach local lock proxyarp 128.0.0.20:128.0.0.5 tty.USA28X1a2P2.2 115200
On the MessagePad
Generic Setup
Protocol : PPP
Configuration : Manual
When closing : disconnect never
Local IP Address : 128.0.0.5
Gateway/Router Address : 128.0.0.20
Advanced Setting : Seriell, 115200-None-1, Hardware Flow Control
But beyond make the connection, I’m not able to do anything. I’m not quite sure how to bridge the connection.
Here is the output in the terminal when the connection is made:
publish_entry SCDSet() failed: Success!
publish_entry SCDSet() failed: Success!
Using interface ppp0
Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/tty.USA28X1a2P2.2
Cannot determine ethernet address for proxy ARP
local IP address 128.0.0.20
remote IP address 128.0.0.5
