dund

Hi All,

There was DUN daemon in bluez 2.x, but in current version it moved to old daemons and considered deprecated. If I understand correctly its aim is simple to launch pppd on incoming connection.

Is is possible to reach the same behaviour via current implementation without dund? Currently I do need dund to sync my Palm with desktop; I performed internet search and found not any solution.

Thanks for helping.

Best regards,
Ivan Baidakou

Gnome-pilot and pilot-link both support native Bluetooth connections.

Cheers

You haven't real experience, right? In any case I don't know how to do
it: in the official pilot-link guide there is need to establish TCP connection to sync (http://howto.pilot-link.org/bluesync/gb.html), and to establish it they recommend to launch dund
(http://howto.pilot-link.org/bluesync/ga.html).

That's why I do ask here, what thing in new bluez can replace the deprecated dund?

Best regards,
Ivan Baidakou

I have.

# pilot-xfer -p bt:00:07:E0:B3:DD:03 -l

Listening for incoming connection on bt:00:07:E0:B3:DD:03... connected!

And so have I, I got the patch upstream into pilot-link, and helped get the gnome-pilot support integrated.

Hello,

OK, thanks, it solves the synchronization problem, but this is a particular solution because it doesn't handles such cases as web-browsing, ftp-uploading (Palm serves as FTP-server for convenient file uploading from common desktop software) etc. So, there is need to DUN-functionality. DUNd is deprecated, what comes instead of?
