[Barry-devel] Making tethered modem support easy

[Andy Herkey]

Hey Chris,

My barry is a Sprint 8703e using BES connected to my corporate network.  
12 days ago I saw that you updated pppob.cc and associated programs, so 
I uploaded the CVS and compiled.  Wow, big changes since 0.12. Nice code 
btw.

I couldn't get the ipmodem to work, probably because the device is 
password protected, but I did get the serial modem working by adding the 
password support to ppppb.cc and adding my password to the pty command.

pty "/home/aherkey/src/barry/tools/pppob -vsP passwd"

$ diff pppob.cc pppob.cc.cvs
57d56
<    << "   -P pass   Simplistic method to specify device password\n"
136d134
<               string password;
140c138
<                       int cmd = getopt(argc, argv, "l:p:P:sv");

<                       case 'P':       // Device password
<                               password = optarg;
<                               break;

support password here?

<                       modem.Open(password.c_str());

Last week I saw that Michael Stokes was also using a 8703e, but he 
didn't say if he was using BES or what mode his modem was using.  Just 
curious if his is also password protected.  Anyway I did a few usbsnoops 
at work using XP and Sprint's connection manager (CM).  Each time the CM 
asked twice for my password (maybe for each modem mode), but I never saw 
the BB request a password challenge.  If I canceled entering the 
password the CM said that it couldn't find any devices. I did manage to 
wipe my BB by playing back a snoop dump. Thank goodness for backups. :) 
Oh well, I'll keep digging though.

Keep up the good work!

Andy
