Darren,
I have exactly the same setup. I use Minicom as a front end dialer for
PPPD on an infared link to an I888 cell phone. Here is a brief on what
my configuration looks like. This may be a lot more then you need...
;) I also program in REXX, which yes- is NOT Perl and I suffer the
taunts of co-workers accordingly... :) Apologies in advance...
My minicom is by default configured for a Sony internal modem. However,
on the road I use my cell phone. When I click on the Minicom I888 icon
this REXX script gets executed...
/* program to set up infared, locate phone and copy appropriate config
files */
"clear"
parse value "0 888" with done phone_id /* set some values */
say "-> Starting IR comminucation with Ericsson I888 GSM Phone..."
"killall irmanager 2>/dev/null" /* stop IR support */
"killall irattach 2>/dev/null"
"/usr/sbin/irmanager -d 1" /* start IR support, irattach should
autostart */
call syssleep 1 /* give it a second to start irattach */
call charout ," Locating Phone..."
do i=1 by 1 until done /* go forward with Minicom when we know a phone
is present */
"cp /proc/net/irda/discovery /tmp/phone" /* proc likes this better */
parse value stream("/tmp/phone","C","QUERY SIZE") with size /*
monitor proc 4 changes */
if size>23 then do /* 23 chars default if discovery finds nothing */
/* so, there is something - let's see if it's the phone */
if wordpos(phone_id,charin("/tmp/phone",1,size))>1 then do /*
phone found */
say
"play /usr/local/bin/ir_begin.wav 2>/dev/null &" /* win98
infared sound */
say "-> Ericsson I888 present, configuring for IR modem!"
/* do the switcheroo */
"cp /etc/ppp/i888.rx /etc/ppp/minicom.rx"
done=1
end
else do
say
say "-> Ericsson GSM phone not recognized!"
exit 2
end
end
call syssleep 1
call charout ,"."
if i>80 then do
say
say "-> No phone found..."
exit 1
end
end
/* "cp /etc/resolv.ibm /etc/resolv.conf" */ /* I mess with this alot...
*/
/* start Minicom with the saved profile Infared, points serial port at
/dev/ircomm */
"/usr/bin/minicom infared"
say "-> Session complete, configuration reset to Internal Modem."
"cp /etc/ppp/modem.rx /etc/ppp/minicom.rx" /* point back at sony
internal modem */
exit 0
Minicom infared profile is configured like this...
mqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqk

Make sure you have your scripting language of choice configured...

x B - Upload directory :

In my dialing entry I call minicom.rx, it connects to the ISP, and on
terminition kills minicom. This file contains...
/**/
say ""
say "Now switching into ppp-mode and terminating minicom..."
say ""
"/usr/sbin/pppd file /etc/ppp/i888.options"
"/usr/bin/killall minicom"
And of course my i888.options file...
/dev/ircomm 115200
defaultroute
noipdefault
name internet.usinet.myuserid
noauth
Hope this has been useful, Art...
