Windows CE pppd

Here are some instructions how to connect a Windows CE portable to a Linux box with pppd.

Windows CE:

Create a modem connection.

Connections -> Direct Connections -> Settings -> Communication -> Identification -> cebox

Linux:

Create the following files in /etc/ppp

cebox.sh:

#!/bin/bash

pppd call cebox

cebox.chat:

Timeout 3600

“CLIENT” “CLIENT\c”

” ” “SERVER\c”

peers/cebox:

/dev/ttyS1 19200 crtscts

connect ‘/usr/sbin/chat -v -t cebox.chat’

noauth

local

192.168.55.101:192.168.55.100

Don’t change the IP addresses since Windows CE seems to connect only if such network is specified. Make /etc/ppp/cebox.sh executable and start it. Then start the modem connection from the Win CE.
