I started to study how Lupu Puppy Linux does 3G or dialup
related connections. I booted up the disc and copied some of the app
files to my SliTaz partition. Puppy actually has several scripts for
it, which not surprising since this IS Puppy we're talking about.
A few interesting things to note:
1. Lupu uses bash and several Coreutils tools
2. Lupu uses gtkdialog3 for most of it's graphical boxes (we use
gtkdialog2). It also has yad and xdialog available.
3. Lupu has a command line app designed just to connect 3G devices -
this is the most interesting thing for me.
4. Lupu has a graphical dialer, but uses a separate modem querying
program to test several functions.
I'm going to be working through the command line script to see if it
has any special requirements. I'll also try to figure out how it works,
then simplify it for ash and write a very simple graphical dialer for
it.
I'm trying to convert over Puppy's excellent Pburn program, which in my
opinion is probably the best feature of Puppy. Hopefully it will be
able to grace our distro too :)
