GPRS HOWTO

The Greenphone has a bug in the GUI that creates GPRS configuration files for pppd. This is fixed by doing this:

  1. In the Settings for the GPRS connection, please take the Startup mode "when needed". In "the Always on" mode, qpe loops and the display freezes.
  2. pppd wants to load the file /etc/ppp/peers/dialup<number> where "number" is an id for the connection. This file does not exist and peers is a file not a directory.

What helped: log in as root with 

gph -console
cd /etc/ppp
more peers

take the text behind remotename (dialup<number>), rename peers to that text 

mv peers dialup<number>
mkdir peers
mv dialup<number> peers

Now the ppp daemon can find the file and starts the ppp connection

In Settings->Internet click the gprs connection --> the line should show pended, then online Now email-client should work
