OS: openSUSE 11.1
Barry Package: openSUSE build service barry libs 0.14
The call to pppd call barry-verizon seems to work properly (I can include the output lines if needed). The last few lines are:
local IP address 97.46.221.182
remote IP address 66.174.216.64
primary DNS address 66.174.92.14
secondary DNS address 69.78.96.14
Script /etc/ppp/ip-up started (pid 14502)

Script /etc/ppp/ip-down started (pid 14681)
sent [LCP TermReq id=0x2 “User request”]
Script /etc/ppp/ip-down finished (pid 14681), status = 0x0
The problem is relected in the pppob.log file which regularly adds this line ( I also can include the entire log file if needed):
IPModem:: Close Read Timeout
The barry-verizon.chat is:
ABORT ERROR ‘’
+++AT ‘’
ATZ OK
AT&F OK
ATE0V1 OK
AT OK
ATS0=0 OK
ATDT#777 CONNECT
The command /sbin/route -n displays:

Can anyone help me get this to work properly please?
Hi
Adding the options debug debug debug and dump in
the /etc/ppp/peers/verizon file should help to provide more logging
detail.
I have dumped the /etc/ppp/options file and renamed the file,
then added all the options into the /etc/ppp/peers/verizon file (mines
different as I use CellularSouth).
Can you post details of the options you are using?
Thanks…I renamed the options file in /etc/ppp…I also added the options that were not in the barry-verizon file…I added the debug debug debug and dump options…I disconnected my USB cable and ran pppd again with the same results showing the timeout in the data read thread.
Here is output from running btool -t

Thanks…I actually believe progress was made…although the way I got it was a little strange. Here is what I did:
Made the suggested changes with no success (still timeouts in data read thread)
I removed the barry0.14 packages and installed the barry0.15 pacakges from the source forge cvs…recopied the barry-verizon files made earlier with less success than above (was unable to complete script).
I then re-installed the barry0.14 libs…only installing the libbarry, libbarry-util and libbarry-opensync…I ran the pppd script and it appeared to work (sort of)…it took several minutes before the timeout message appeared in the pppob.log file…I tried connecting to the internet with no success.
I made all the suggested changes and the script failed. I undid the connect speed change and the script ran OK (although the timeout still occurred with a value of 6000 and I was unable to connect an any URL if firefox).
I tried pinging the specified DNS servers displayed in the pppd command and was successful.
I then rem the usepeerdns line and created to environment variables DNS1 and DNS2 withe the IPs provided. The script ran OK again but still not able to browse to any URL (connect timeout still appeared in log). I was able to ping the DNS servers.
So it appears a network route is being established but without a valid DNS.
The blackberry I’m using is a company supplied phone with a company supplied verizon service. It worked fine using windows and VZAccess Manager. Is it possible the internet plan service supplied with this phone is required to use a very specific DNS?
Hi
In windows run the windows ipconfig?(or what ever it uses these days) to
see what DNS servers your using, but yes it may be managed through the
blackberry enterprise management tool.

Thanks…I did that and it so happens the DNS servers where the same IPs as the ones found when usepeersdns was umrem.
By the way, I did use RPM to install the barry 0.15 distribution. I do not recall where I downloaded from but the versions numbers are identical to the ndprojects.
