Hi folks,
Don't know if it could be interesting or not, even useful, but past days
i was spending my time trying to use an old gsm motorola v150 mobile
phone to get access to my host from my palm device with pssh
(http://www.sealiesoftware.com/pssh/), these are the steps i did to
accomplish it, feel free to suggest or improve it, anyway i found it
usefull.
First, this motorolla has an usb interface to the host, it's quite
simple to attach the phone to the host running CentOs, i dont like very
much usb 'things' but things are like this... anyway, if you do so
you'll notice in syslog:
<...>
Aug 8 20:54:13 spoolbox kernel: cdc_acm 1-2:1.0: ttyACM0: USB ACM
device
<...>
Don't know other mobile phones with an usb interface but it could be
similar in others with an operational modem (i have to admit that im not
an expert in GSM neither telephony...)
Anyway, if you inspect the usb line, you can see:
[root@spoolbox crash]# cat /proc/bus/usb/devices

Then, in /dev you will have:
[root@spoolbox crash]# l /dev/ttyACM0
crw------- 1 root root 166, 0 ago 8 20:54 /dev/ttyACM0
In my case, i wasn't sure about this phone modem facilities, and i start
playing with init secuences to discover the modem with 'minicom' tool,
without success. Finally i decided to use 'wvdialconf' utility to check
out my lack of kwlg. :
[root@spoolbox crash]# wvdialconf newconffile

I did an AT command and i get the correspoding OK, cool :)
AT

ATD <phone-number>
And my other mobile phone was ringing with an incomming data call.
Up to here fine since the old motorola phone was able to perform calls,
that's not the point unless you want a dial-out line (56k).
What i needed was a dial-in facilities, go on with 'mgetty-sendfax':
First change the /etc/inittab to start using the line:
[root@spoolbox crash]# cat /etc/inittab
<...>
# Modem back line listen
# Data only and two tones b4 connect
T1:2345:respawn:/sbin/mgetty ttyACM0 -D /dev/ttyACM0
<...>
To enable dial-in uncomment the corresponding line at '/etc/mgetty
+sendfax/login.config' file with the previously created profile:
[root@spoolbox crash]# cat /etc/mgetty+sendfax/login.config
<...>
/AutoPPP/ - - /usr/sbin/pppd file /etc/ppp/options.server
<...>
You can even trim more for incomming calls using the corresponding
features at '/etc/mgetty+sendfax/dialin.config', in my case i left it
untouched without restrictions.
And config the line in '/etc/mgetty+sendfax/mgetty.config':
<...>
# Motorola V150/Usb connected to ttyACM0/1: don't do fax, less logging
#
port ttyACM0
debug 9
data-only y
speed 460800
<...>
Up to here, you have the line preset correctly, now you have to use it
to dial-in.
Create a ppp profile file to use in dial-in whatever the line will be:
[root@spoolbox crash]# cat /etc/ppp/options.server
# Do not fork to become a background process
-detach
# To allow pppd to work over a rlogin/telnet connection
asyncmap 0
# Use the modem control lines
modem
# Use hardware flow control
crtscts
# Specifies that pppd use the UUCP-style lock on the serial device
lock
# Adds an entry into the ARP table with the IP address of the client and
the IP address of the NIC
proxyarp
#
# Auth:
# PAP (Password Authentication Protocol) is one of the two protocols
that PPP uses to authenticate
# peers.
# The other is CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol).
# CHAP is a more secure protocol, but is not as widely supported as PAP
require-pap
refuse-chap
#require-chap
#refuse-pap
# if 'login' option (follows) is used, the file /etc/ppp/pap-secrets
need not exist. In fact, it
# might interfere with the proper functioning of PAP. You can remove the
file, or it can contain
# the following line:
# * * ""
# The advantage of maintaining /etc/ppp/pap-secrets with this line is
that it leaves you the option
# of denying PPP access to individual accounts that have entries
in /etc/passwd. To do so, below
# the above line, enter the following line:
# username * -
# where "username" is the username of the account you wish to deny PPP
access. Example:
# #user server secret addrs
# * * "" *
# jdoe * - *
#
#login
# The first DNS server IP address for this network.
ms-dns 192.168.0.1
# The second DNS server IP address for this network.
ms-dns 62.42.230.24
Third, create the specific profile for /dev/ttyACM0 line, where our
phone is:
[root@spoolbox crash]# cat /etc/ppp/options.ttyACM0
# The first IP address is the servers IP address, the second IP address
is
# the free static IP address that can be assigned to the computer
dialing
# in on the modem. This number cannot be in use.
192.168.0.3:192.168.0.69
# The net mask of the LAN the server is connected to.
netmask 255.255.255.0
And since we are using PAP to auth, create the password
at /etc/ppp/pap.secrets:
[root@spoolbox crash]# cat /etc/ppp/pap-secrets
# Secrets for authentication using PAP
# client server secret IP addresses
sm0ketst * password *
Now, let's see what's happeninig with all of this stuff:
# telinit q
And check out the syslog:
<...>

<...>
And check also '/var/log/mgetty.log.ttyACM0':
[root@spoolbox ~]# tail -F /var/log/mgetty.log.ttyACM0

Up to here, the hard part is done except the netfilter part i'll show
later, but from now we can ring our motorola to get access from 'pssh'
in our palm device (in my case i use a bluetooth conn with a Nokia
6600).
If we also want to get access the network from palm device, you have to
tweak the /etc/sysconfig/iptables file in the host where the phone is
connected in the following way:
a) At the top of the file, add the following lines:
# Firewall configuration written by system-config-securitylevel
# Manual customization of this file is not recommended.
*filter
:INPUT ACCEPT [0:0]
:FORWARD ACCEPT [0:0]
:OUTPUT ACCEPT [0:0]
:RH-Firewall-1-INPUT - [0:0]
# Rule for sharing eth0 with ppp0/ttyACM0 <------- ADD
-A FORWARD -i ppp0 -j ACCEPT <------- ADD
-A INPUT -j RH-Firewall-1-INPUT
-A FORWARD -j RH-Firewall-1-INPUT
<...>
b) At the end of the file, add the following lines:
<...>
# Rest
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-host-prohibited
COMMIT
# Rule for dial-in network sharing
# Remark: Remember to update the /etc/sysctl.conf
# Controls IP packet forwarding
# net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1
# or # echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
*nat
:PREROUTING ACCEPT [0:0]
:POSTROUTING ACCEPT [0:0]
:OUTPUT ACCEPT [0:0]
-A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
COMMIT
And as you can see, enable packet forwarding by hand or in
'/etc/sysctl.conf'
After that restart iptables
[root@spoolbox ~]# service iptables restart
And check out the 'whole thing':
1st- enable bluetooth on phone,
2nd- enable bluetooth on palm, and connect
[root@spoolbox ~]# tail -F /var/log/mgetty.log.ttyACM0
<...>

Now you can get shell access from your palm, use your favourite www palm
browser and send-receive emails, etc... with some tweaks from your palm,
all of this using your host as your gateway.
I think that's all and i didn't forget anything, feel free to knock the
door on me if something fails... but since phone companies are providing
no-cost for certain calls, i found it usefull to get a shell on my palm
to launch certain commands on the host at 0-cost, yes, at 56K, but it's
free :)
