  4. ./pppd_for_pose.sh

Steps for Palm OS Emulator

  1. Install Emulator 3.2 or greater.
  2. Start a new session with a ROM image of your choice.
  3. Set the Properties on the emulator for serial over TCP

  4. On the emulated Palm, select 'Prefs' and create a new Network Service. I also create a new connection type called "Serial to PC" (last image).

  5. Select "Connect" for your new network service and hope it works.

Notes

pppd looks for options files in the /etc/ppp directory. It will look for an option file specific to the terminal device that it is using. So if pppd is talking to /dev/ttyp0 it will first look for an option file named /etc/ppp/options.ttyp0. The options files in etc_ppp are for the pseudo terminal devices used by tcptty. They provide IP addresses for the network 10.0.0.0/255.255.255.192. install.sh copies these files into your /etc/ppp directory.
