Hi _xor,

I'm trying to get my Prophet WM6-upgraded PDA connected to my 2.6.23-tuxonice-r6 powered Gentoo Linux but couldn't make it work. I'm trying to use it as a GPRS modem and to sync it too (priority 2 actually).

How did you get odccm installed? app-pda/synce-dccm doesn't have it and there is no odccm at all.

Or yet better, what packages did you install? (I'm using KDE as my window manager as you do).

BTW, the links on the wiki are no longer valid and couldn't get to them through google too.

EDIT: I could make it work!!!!!

The problem was somehow related to the PPP connection not establishing the IP address correctly:

I just re-enabled and disabled again the "enable advanced network functionality" on the PDA while it was connected to my PC and it started to work:

I'll try later some cool apps, if any...
