1 This directory contains sample options files for pppd, as well as their
2 associated chatscript files. They are named for the various Blackberry
3 vendors that have different connect sequences for tethered modems.
5 Each file is tagged with the name "barry" as well, so they can be
6 installed in /etc/ppp/peers someday, to make all this automated
9 It is a good idea to review these options files to make sure they
10 suit your system. Particularly the defaultroute options, and their
11 various security implications. You may wish to read the following URLs

20 The original peer files were based on the XmBlackBerry peer file, but
21 many have been added over the years for various ISPs.
23 Please send all working peer files to cdfrey@foursquare.net, so we can
24 build a library of peer files for different carriers.
