JSModem
Provides a virtual modem device for JSLinux platform. It is a result of studying project conducted on PC emulator that was implemented in JS by Fabrice Bellard (see http://bellard.org/jslinux). There is a screencast discussing this project http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEsmgHrKQYM.

Installation
-
Get a copy by cloning the repo from
[email protected]:ewiger/jsmodem.git -
Run make all in jsmodem/emulator to download and patch JSLinux from http://bellard.org/jslinux (This step is still valid but left as a fallback. Right now the jslinux version is in sync with the version on the website of Aug 20, 2011).
-
Start serving JSLinux locally with
sudo ./serve.sh -
Navigate to
http://localhost:2080/This should boot the guest system. -
Login as root and run ./ppp_up to bring up the ppp interface. Check it with ifconfig and ping.
