Getting desperate here.
I live along the Texas Coast - Freeport to be precise. This is the first i-net access since last week and I am using my wife's EeePC with a ATT USB air card under Windows.
My Thinkpad is only loaded with Ubuntu. I have tried in the past to set up either the ATT card or use the BB as a tethered OR Bluetooth modem. I have yet to achieve this.
I will pay a bounty to anyone who can walk me through setting up the Blackberry. (She won't let me keep here Aircard). Terms negotiable.
Components are:
Blackberry Curve 8310 using ATT
Thinkpad T61 loaded with ubuntu Hardy
To date I have installed the Btools and the BB is recognized as a USB storage device and will auto mount using a USB cable.
Using a USB Cable:
Ubuntu sees the BB and will auto mount as a storage device.
Ubuntu will pick up the Mac address from the BB.
I cannot get the PPP or GPRS script to work.
Using Bluethooth
Bluetooth will connect both devices and share data.
Ubuntu will pick up the BB MAC address.
Again, I cannot get the script to work.
I did download, and attempt to compile the bluetooth scripts from instructions I found on the internet. However, it will hiccup and tell me one of the files for Chat is not found.
If you can assist, please e-mail me
johnhoss@att.blackberry.net
Thank you in advance.
BTW
No significant damage to home, family or business. Especially compared to those who lost everything just miles up the coast.
We do not expect power until after 9/22. Phone, Cable - ??
EEPCs are not meant to support my typing fingers.
