I've been on the road the last two weeks and decided I had to get my Blackberry Curve working as a modem over AT&T's EDGE network.
It wasn't as bad as I feared, because other people had previously done most of the work. I just put together the stuff I found and had a little luck. Here are the files I used. I hope that they can be included in barry where people smarter than me can tune them. A couple of data points: * It works for me using a pre-0.14 SVN release on Kubuntu. (I sent this email over the connection.) * I could not successfully get it to work with a password, though I understand that upgrading my barry install might help. * Playing with the password stuff caused my device to reboot. I ended up just disabling it before tethering.
