I have a Handspring Visor with the Visor Phone which can be used as a
regular dial-up modem. Would it be worth while to set up a Linux PPP
server so I can dial into my home network? It would mean dedicating a
phone line for my dial-up use. Would setting this up be difficult? I
am using a router. Would I need a static IP address to assign the
visor, or could I simply assign it an IP address in the LAN?
Wouldn't it be less expensive to get a dial-up account with an ISP for
$10 to $15 per month?
The way I understand the question, he wants to use the phone for
*wireless* dial-up access. Also, I sensed an implication that he wanted
to *access data on his home network*. I'm not sure an ISP solves these
issues for him. If he planned to use the Visor as a modem for a laptop,
perhaps ssh would be a more elegant solution, but if he wants to use the
Visor, not only as modem, but as the remote computer, too, I have never
seen an ssh client for the Palm OS.
