when I issue the "ifup ppp0" or "pppd call sprint" command /var/log/messages gets two new lines. I don't have it right in front of me now, but the first line basically seems to document the command being given and the second says something to the effect of pppd: Exit.
I bring up a browser or try to ping a remote host and no dice, when I tried the default route trick: still no go. I have a feeling I'm really close---yesterday when I tried I even noticed the green light on the EVDO card flashing (which indicates data is being transered) but I still can't seem to get it.
I have a Kyocera KR1 router and that's OK, but I really want to be able to set up a iptables-based router for greater load-handling and customization. If it never works I guess that's OK, but now it's just really bugging me and I want to beat this thing.
