Oops! Hi, Chris -- I told you wrong, we have a Blackberry Tour. Any hope of getting /that/ to work with berry? So far, i plug it in, and none of the tools detect it as a blackberry; This is on the Ubuntu 9.04 my lsusb has this (among other things): Bus 002 Device 015: ID 0fca:8007 Research In Motion, Ltd. Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0c45:63fa Microdia Bus 003 Device 002: ID 0a5c:4500 Broadcom Corp. I do "rmmod usb_storage", but "btool -v" gives me a slew of errors or failures. Oh, it just dawned on me: on my Fedora 12 i was able to run barrybackup successfully (device was recognized and data backed up!) So.... then it's definitely possible with the Tour. any suggestions? > > The pppob command line program (included in barry-util) is called by > pppd for tethered modem, yes.
