I'm having problems with this..

I'm using Ubuntu Linux and Blackberry Bold
When i do "btool -l" i get the response that Blackberry device was found, PIN, .. etc
When i do "lsusb" i get the response that Blackberry is plugged in USB (Bus 001 Device 006: ID 0fca:8004 Research In Motion, Ltd.)

And when I use "sudo pppd call bb", on the device I see it started calling #700 (why this? shouldn't it be *99***!" like in Windows?) and I get this response:

Code:

Connect script failed
Waiting for 1 child processes...
  script /usr/sbin/pppob, pid 21631
sending SIGTERM to process 21631
Child process /usr/sbin/pppob (pid 21631) terminated with signal 15

I did edit username and password for ISP..

So.. where did i go wrong? What to do to make Blackberry act like modem to connect to the internet?

Regards,
Nikola
