I tried hacking network manager's config to recognize barry and pppob, but it never really worked. In the end, I just created an icon linked to the a script that killed NM and started barry. Clicking it again would shutdown barry and startup NM.
I think the GSM/CDMA features of NM are really designed for 3G pc cards, not usb tethered phones-as-modems.... I guess the real answer would be a kernel driver that made the phone-as-modem look like a network device.... Wasn't someone working on this? Chris.
