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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword _______________________________________________ Barry-devel mailing list Barry-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/barry-devel
