Verizon V3c- BT DUN on Mac OSX 10.4-Working

OK I got it working you need to force it to use pap. I found an applescript somwhere which will do it. Here it is

Code:
display dialog "This script disables CHAP support in Mac OS X. You will now be asked for your admin password in order to modify a system file (/etc/ppp/options)." buttons "OK" set normal_command to "touch /etc/ppp/options;chmod a+w /etc/ppp/options;echo \"refuse-chap refuse-mschap refuse-mschap-v2\" > /etc/ppp/options;chmod a-w /etc/ppp/options" do shell script "sh -c " & quoted form of normal_command with administrator privileges display dialog "Thank you. To re-enable CHAP authentication, remove the /etc/ppp/options file." buttons "OK" giving up after 5



1. Disable EVDO on your phone (not sure if needed)

2. Configure the dialer
phone: #777
user:xxxxxxxxxx@vzw3g.com
pass: vzw


3. run this applescript- if u use other DUN connections, not sure what this will do

4. enjoy.

I am guessing you have to disable EVDO, since this doesn't work on my phone with EVDO enabled.

Works great once I disabled EVDO. Never really used it anyway.

This seems to work, but what is this CHAP that we are disabling with the applescript?

CHAP (wikipedia) is a protocol for encrypting your password over PPP. OS X seems have some type of autodetection mechanism for determining if and which encryption protocol it should use when connecting via PPP, evidently this doesn't work so well. So this applescript disables CHAP forcing OS X to always use PAP. Once I have some more time, I will look into ways for just disabling PAP for the one network connection, because this disables it for all PPP (dialup) connections.

You have to open your applescript editor. Then paste it in there and run it

Ok, I ran that. But when I go to connect it says a modem error occurred and to check the settings. What could I be doing wrong. I disabled EVDO, ran the script, and set up the info. Could it be my account doesnt allow it?

Nice, the script works like a charm. I just tethered in 1x mode and got the following speed test result from the dslreports.com:

2005-12-21 11:09:27 EST: 118 / 69
Your download speed : 118 kbps or 14.7 KB/sec.
Your upload speed : 69 kbps or 8.7 KB/sec.

While it would be nice to have EVDO tethering, 1x is plenty fast for checking e-mail or limited web browsing.

I just used the "Verizon Support (PC 5220)" Modem Script. It works fine.
