I got the ERROR message and sometimes I'd get nothing returned with the Treo giving me a 'connection in progress...' message on the screen. Here's a few things I tried to do to get things working again: - reboot the treo - reboot the Linux box - cycle bluetooth on and off on the treo If things get really strange, remove the Linux box from the list of trusted devices and start over. It's good to know this isn't just a Verizon thing with the ERROR message, so it's some strange Linux or Treo defect.

I'm on Sprint, so my username is obviously of a different form, but the scripts should otherwise be much the same. The problem is that when I try to connect, and send AT or ATZ to the Treo, I get back "ERROR" every time, without fail. It's bizarre. I have no idea what to do about it, since I don't see any way to get any sort of real feedback. Any ideas? Is there some way to get feedback from the Treo on attempted PPP connections?
