This one worked. Then I hit the next problem.

I got a connection and whilst I did get told what DNS servers to use
(/var/run/ppp/resolv.conf was populated) without using fedoras network
scripts, they didnt get placed into /etc/resolv.conf and used by any
apps.

so I'm working on integrating barry with that. So far, this is what I've got...

copied /etc/ppp/peers/barry-tmobileus to /etc/ppp/peers/tmobile (since
fedoras network scripts treat the peer options file name as if its an
interface or device name and therefore punctuation can make it do
silly things)

created /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-tmobile with the
following entries....

TYPE=Modem
DEMAND=no
ONBOOT=no
HARDFLOWCTL=no
ESCAPECHARS=yes
DEFROUTE=yes
PEERDNS=yes
MTU=1492
DEBUG=yes

(setting them the same as the equivalent options in the peers file,
since fedora passes them on the command line and I dont want to
override a working config)

and voila - "ifup tmobile" gives me a working link.

Current issues:

1: Fedora wraps pppd in ppp-watch. That works fine for initiating and
maintaining the link but closing it down doesnt work right. "ifdown
tmobile" has no effect. Its a pain in the rear because you've got to
throw a sigterm at ppp-watch to close the link down. Unfortunately it
seems it did "hear" the one from the ifdown script and ppp-watch
responds to a second sigterm by getting rid of the pppd with sigkill,
leaving you potentially with an unclean ipmodem shutdown that can
force you to reboot your berry before it will connect again.

2: Still havent got it playing nice with NetworkManager yet. Working on it.
