If I try to use the connect script in rogers.peer, I get an immediate

I know that the ppp config I use with XmBlackBerry said not to use the

need it.
Thanks! That's good to know. Once you get this working, could you send
your chatscript to me? I'd like to include samples for as many ISP's
as possible.
It's attached ( /etc/ppp/peers/blackberry ). I suspect the modem option
is not needed.
This seems to work fine. I connected to the other side, but I could not
ping the other side of the
point-to-point by ip address. I looked through the logs
(/var/log/messages) and saw nothing that
would indicate a problem. ifconfig ppp0 reports a local and remote ip
address just fine. The BB
screen shown that I was connected as a modem unlike XmBlackBerry that
shows you are connected
as a desktop. Any recommendations? Things to check?
I am unable to ping the IP either, but that doesn't stop me from actually
surfing to places, so I assumed at the time that perhaps it was just
a filter on the ISP side. Perhaps I should look into this more closely.
No you're right. I don't know why the carrier would filter ICMP packets
for their dial-in. I guess they are just paranoid. I bet this breaks a lot
of scripts.
Did your default route get setup automatically? (/sbin/route -n)
It did not. A debug message tells you that. I knew that and set a new
route
manually, but what I didn't do before is remove the old default route.
After that
I am able to surf. Even DNS works!
If you have an IP address, the hardest part should be over. Have you
tried browsing to a website?
Thanks for the feedback,
- Chris
So, the deal is how do you get the default gateway to take?
Also, I notice that
when connected I get a message on the blackberry to the effect that it
is being
used as a modem. After I call poff <profile>, it still says it is being
used as a modem.
I can get rid of the message by disconnecting the usb cable, but I bet
there is a more
elegant way. Also, I'm not sure what happens if I try to immediately
reconnect. I'll
give that a try today sometimes. Thanks again Chris.
