PPP over IrDA

I got my Zaurus online w/ PPP over IrDA quite easily. I’m using AT&T Wireless and a Sony Ericsson T68i.

I started from the instruction given on this page but realized that its quite a bit easier on a Zaurus. So, for anyone else who might be interested in doing the same, here’s how I did it:

  1. In the “Settings” tab, open the “Network & Sync” app.
  2. In the “Services” tab, press “Add…”
  3. Select “IrDA - PPP” and press “Add”
  4. For the phone number enter “*99***1#”
  5. Press “OK”

(No username, password, or anything else was necessary)

Now to connect:

  1. On the phone: in the “Connect” menu select “Infrared port”
  2. On the phone: select “On” or “10 minutes”
  3. On the Zaurus: select the dial-up applet from the toolbar
  4. On the Zaurus: select the connection you created above and press “Connect”

…. voila!
