Treo 650 USB Modem on Ubuntu Feisty (Sprint)
Apr 25,2007
(I’m pretty sure that these directions will also work for older versions of ubuntu.)
You need to install a program on your Treo 650 that will let it become a USB modem like:
Treo USBModem or PdaNet
If anyone knows of any free / open source software for the palm that will do the same thing let me know!
/etc/chatscripts/USBModem:
TIMEOUT 5
ABORT '\nBUSY\r'
ABORT '\nERROR\r'
ABORT '\nNO ANSWER\r'
ABORT '\nNO CARRIER\r'
ABORT '\nNO DIALTONE\r'
ABORT '\nRINGING\r\n\rRINGING\r'
'' \rATZ
TIMEOUT 12
OK ATD#777
TIMEOUT 22
CONNECT ""
/etc/ppp/peers/USBDialup:
noauth
connect "/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/chatscripts/USBDialup"
defaultroute
usepeerdns
/dev/ttyACM0 115200
local
novj
You may notice that when you turn on the usbmodem software on the Treo and plug it in you may see something like this in dmesg:
[110049.340000] usb 3-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 5
[110049.508000] usb 3-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
[110049.512000] cdc_acm 3-1:1.0: ttyACM0: USB ACM device
That’s where you find out what tty port the USB modem will be communicating on: /dev/ttyACM0. And that’s the port used in /etc/ppp/peers/USBDialup.
The rest is easy…
pon USBDialup
And you’re gold! You can then tail -f /var/log/messages to ensure it’s connecting alright.

Thanks for the howto. For some reason I’m not getting cdc_acm to detect the treo as a modem. Do you have any specific packages installed to make that work? I have the module loaded but dmesg just shows the full-speed device and acm never recognizes it as a modem. I know I’m very close. Thanks again for the howto.
