Ok - so I have a 7250 with 4.1 code (don't ask)... doesn't show EVDO yet (service book issues?)... I have had some success with the modem. I do connect and get and IP address:
PPP adapter BlackBerry Modem:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
Description . . . . . . . . . . . : WAN (PPP/SLIP) Interface
Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-53-45-00-00-00

209.226.175.236
NetBIOS over Tcpip. . . . . . . . : Disabled

But I can't ping anything... I'm guess this is probably a setting on the BES server - but since I work for one of those large corporate type companies finding that person who manages the BES servers is proving to be difficult. Can anyone confirm that this might be the problem - or am I missing something.

btw - I dial with the *777, and user name is @1x.bellmobility.com pw is voicemail.

thanks!
