Apparently you have to quote the quote, and use backslashes to escape the quotes. So: " expands to: \\"\"\\" Yeah, I don't like it either. Anyway, I did a quick write-up and put it at: http://www.freebsd.org/~wpaul/bb/blackberry_freebsd.txt Feel free to cut&paste whatever portions of this you want. The same directory also contains a copy of the ptyexec script and a copy of the ppp.conf file that I'm using on my laptop. The one thing that's a little awkward is that ppp.conf has to specify the same pseudo-terminal device that ptyexec chooses to bind to pppob. Right now, the script just selects the first pty that's not already in use. I usually start the tethering as soon as I've booted my laptop (and before I launch X), so I know that ttyp0 will always be the terminal that's selected (nothing else is using any ptys yet). But if ptyexec selects a different pseudo-terminal, then ppp.conf must be changed to match. -Bill -- ============================================================================= -Bill Paul (510) 749-2329 | Senior Engineer, Master of Unix-Fu wp...@windriver.com | Wind River Systems ============================================================================= "I put a dollar in a change machine.
