[irda-users] Using an LG G4050 GSM phone as a modem

[Donour S. <do...@uc...>]

The LG G4050 has an ir port on the side that I'm talking to with
ircomm_tty. irattach worked. irdadump shows the device:

--

2:53:50.324134 xid:cmd 6ec2f7d8 > ffffffff S=6 s=5 (14) 

22:53:50.413124 xid:rsp 6ec2f7d8 < 88977286 S=6 s=5 LG G4050 hint=8104 [
PnP IrCOMM ] (25) 

22:53:50.414125 xid:cmd 6ec2f7d8 > ffffffff S=6 s=* donour hint=0400 [
Computer ] (22)

Everything seems fine, so I fire up minicom and set it to point at
/dev/ircomm0. 'atz' returns 'OK'. Now I try dialing:

'atdt 867-5309'

Now the phone itself makes every indication that it is dialing, but the
call itself never goes through (The reciever never rings). Obvious
questions...Yes, i can dial the number from the phone directly. No,
nothing out of the ordinary is in the logs. After a while (a minute or
so) it times out.

Maybe this phone speaks some non-standard variant of the hayes protocol
or requires extra data. I don't know. The user community for this model
appears to be nonexistant. Does it sound like anything could be going
wrong between me and the ir port of the device?

thanks
