Desperately Seeking Ppp

[bino]

Dear All

I got My GP2X month ago, but to I just got "contact" with it today

it come with V.3.0.0 Firmware ... try to run STERM but here is no "utility" on main menu.
Flash it with 2.1.2 ... and it work.
Thanks for all the clue from this community

Now, I need it to connect to internet using USB or serial GPRS modem.

Kindly please please give me a clue to do that.
My dream is to use it as mobile data terminal and dispatch system
Is there any frimware that ready with PPP feature ?

Sincerely

Well, for USB, check the wiki there's info there about setting it up!

As for the modem, you'd have to find a way to attach it, then build the proper modules, etc.

Isn't there a mini Linux distro available on gp2x?

In FW 3.0.0 you launch utilities from the games option.

To get serial or USB host you need to access the EXT port - the cradle would be the simplest option.

Serial would be easiest but you'd have to port pppd.

The game menu hosts all utilties now too... just use the combined game/utility launcher on fw 3.0
