| Prev | Chapter 3. Setting up a serial terminal connection to the iPAQ | Next |
If you followed the chapters in this book in a logical order, you should have an automatic ppp on the GNU/Linux host, waiting for connections from the iPAQ (see Section 1.3.1.2). You must disable it before proceeding. Comment out the following line in the /etc/inittab file by putting a "#" at the beginning of the line, using you favorite text editor:
#ppp:2345:respawn:/usr/sbin/pppd call PocketPC |
You must tell the running init process to re-read its configuration by typing:
bash# init q |
The serial line is now free, so we can use the terminal emulator.
