Irda Phone Modem not conneted

[kuifje00]

I am trying to use the nokia 6210 with Irda port.
I have the irda modules loaded, ( irda start ) , irdadump shows me the phone.
irdaping "address" shows the pinged packeds, while losing a 10 - 30 % ?
The loss of packed seems to be a speed problem ? my labtop is a Dell 366XT

When I try to use wvdial it says "Modem not connected" while irdadump shows some messaging. ( about parameters or so )

Trying the net-start utility, select the irda modem and click activate. One of thes messages come up, Failed to activate "isp" with error 1, 6, 8.

So I am stuck... I read lot of "google" but nothing will help until now...

What is the link between, /dev/ttyS1 /dev/ircomm0 and why link /dev/modem to /dev/ttyS1? What is the link needed for ? and not to /dev/modem1 or /dev/modem3

/dev/ttyS1 is where th labtop connect the irda port to...
/dev/ircomm0 I need for the irda protocoll I think....

Has someone found a clear text to this fundamental question?

Who has the golden idea ?

Well, I think there must be an error in de protocol or so.. because when the Network Device Control is being activated, there is a lot of trafic, ( irdadump ) between the phone and labtop.
About Type=NINE_WIRE RATE=115200 FORMAT=13 and so on....
But after a second or two it stops and error 8 comes up.

Okay... This far...
I disabled the serialport com1 and connected irda device to com1 So no more serialport...
Reconfigured the scripts.... Now I can dail.. But "remote" modem hangs up.
Very strange... wvdail tries to connect, which I can see going on... while "Network Device Control" should do the sam, but doen't ???

No its not an error...
Its the notebook.. an Dell, so what did I do..
Disable the serial port, connect the irda device to the comm1 instead of comm2
Ping go's a lot better...
I can connect now.. So far so good...

But I have the next question... ;
How can I make the system-control-network, which is de gui to make network devices active or inactive by non privaleged users, ask for my UID and PASSWD each time I connect..
And Why is my UID and PASSWD apearing in the PAP and CHAP secrets file...It also ssems to be needed in de WVDIAL.CONF file... Thats not funny...
The are even fully readable !
I want No uid's and Passwd's on this system for Dail-out , because it is used by more then 1 person. In fact at least 8 people. They should use all thre own uid/passwd combination for ppp-dailout connection.

When put in the wvdial.conf "ASK PASSWORD" I cannot make a connection.
keeps error 8
But I cant even find somthing like "ASK USERNAME"
There must be a way to do this... Mabe a link to an example...?

Can someone explain how I should make this happen...
