If you look at the bottom of the post there is a link to my config file, you may want to peek at that. I had found a few examples out on the Internet that had various configuration options in them that caused pppd to try to configure the local side of the tunnel which I think is what resulted in the problem you're having. I would have to see your config file to suggest any other options, which you can e-mail me if you like, my e-mail is over on http://www.ub3rgeek.net/ in the top right.

I set it all up based on this howto: http://www.surlyjake.com/linux/ubuntu-karmic/tethered-blackberry-modem-on-ubuntu-karmic/ I am running into the following problem, which it seems happened to you too: ////////////////////////////////////////// ... Sent 1139 bytes, received 500 bytes. sent IPCP TermReq id=0x6b "Could not determine local IP address" rcvd IPCP TermAck id=0x6b sent LCP TermReq id=0x2 "No network protocols running" rcvd LCP TermAck id=0x2 Connection terminated. ///////////////////////////////////////// My peers file was already at user"", and I tried commenting out the userpeerdns, but it didn't seem to help. I tried adding the line: ipcp-max-configure 20 to the peers file, but still encountered the problem. My question for you is a) is that where I would set ipcp-max-configure and b) are there any other tweaks you would reccomend? I admit to not understanding a lot of your post, but since I'm not worried about bluetooth I kind of assume that I'm focusing on the relevant details. If that is not a good assumtion, please correct me. Thanks! I am trying use my 9700 as a modem over USB.
