Bluetooth DUN and PPP
-
Hi, I have a query about the DUN and PPP and hope that someone can point me in the right direction to proceed on. I am programming a console application in C that will be used on Windows platform and maybe other platforms in future. The application will be used by a laptop/PC to connect to the Internet by using the DUN profile of a bluetooth capable mobile phone. I have managed to connect to the mobile phone and make a call to a normal phone number using the ATcommands. But I understand that to connect to the Internet thru the GPRS, I also have to implement the Point to Point Protocol. If that is so, how can I go about it? Please do correct me if my understanding is wrong. Any pointers to set me in the right direction is greatly appreciated. Thanks and regards, Loh

probably the easy way would be to create a modem driver and use the windows PPP and tcp/ip implementations for the connection.
Don't try it, just do it! ;-)

Thanks for your reply. To create a modem driver is really beyond my knowledge now. But I am willing to do it. Do you have any recommended readings or resources on creating modem drivers and windows PPP and TCP/IP?
the windows DDK (now WDK) is always a good source for driver programming. you can get a copy via MSDN (subscriber) or via http://connect.microsoft.com
