Using Berry4All
We need to run under root(sudo) because usually the USB device(Blackberry) can not be read/written to by a regular user(except OS X). IF you can't or don't want to run as root, see #faqs
DefaultRoute
On OSX, you do not need to bother will defaultroute, skip to #GUI
If your PPPD supports "replacedefaultroute"
Edit your relevant pppd file (ex: conf/tmobile) and uncomment (remove the # at the beginning) this line:
#replacedefaultroute
If it does NOT support it
Then you will want to disable all the other interfaces, so no routes are available, so bbtether/pppd can set one.
First you want to disable your other connections if you have some (say wifi), otherwise pppd won't be able to setup the default route and it will behave like it's not working.
To know which one run route in a shell and see which interface is listed (ex: eth1) (you can also use ifconfig -a)
Then bring it/them down: Ex: sudo ifconfig eth1 down
Now, when you run route, it should list nothing.
AFTER you are done with bbtether, you will want to re-enable your other connection(s):
Ex: sudo ifconfig eth1 up and possibly sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
Ex: sudo ifconfig eth1 up and possibly sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
GUI
Until i make a proper application launcher, it will need to be started from a terminal.
Start a terminal.
Go into the berry4all folder (Ex: cd bbtether) and run sudo ./berry4all.sh.
Then simply use the GUI (straightforward)
See here for an example a GUI screenshot
If you have problems. please see the FAQ's on common errors and how to reach me if needed.
Tethering without the GUI (command line)
IF you want to use tethering without the GUI (ie: don't want to install WxPython)
cd bbtether sudo python bbtether.py tmobile -v
If your device requires a password add it with the -P option
Ex: sudo python bbtether.py tmobile -P mypass -v
Ex: sudo python bbtether.py tmobile -P mypass -v
At this point you should be connected to internet through the blackberry.
See here for working bbtether Example Output
When done using the connection, you can stop using ^c
It should stop properly after a little bit.

Title: My 2 cents.
Got it working with Blackberry Storm 9530 on Verizon, with Ubuntu Lucid 10.04. Just followed the directions and entered my phone number in the verizon configuration file in the "conf" folder. Although the actuall log in and log off procedure is quite slow compared to "Barry 0.16" on Ubuntu Jaunty 9.04, which worked flawlessly. I with Jaunty was LTS... I'm considering going back to it just for barry... I need my mobile net... all I have.
