I gave it a try, too! I have a t-mobile flat rate which I use from my laptop. I just copied the file to the freerunner altered /etc/group as you supposed.
My files look like this: /etc/ppp/peers/t-mobile ----------------------- user "tm" connect "/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/ppp/connect-t-mobile" /dev/ttySAC0 persist modem noipdefault usepeerdns defaultroute ipcp-accept-local ipcp-accept-remote lock crtscts /etc/ppp/connect-t-mobile ------------------------- ABORT 'BUSY' ABORT 'NO CARRIER' ABORT 'ERROR' '' AT OK AT+CGATT=1 OK AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","internet.t-mobile" OK ATDT*99***1# /etc/ppp/pap-secrets -------------------- # Secrets for authentication using PAP # client server secret IP addresses * * "" * "tm" * "tm" * That's all. I connected it yesterday and it worked. I used tangogps along with it and it downloaded the tiles automatically without having a usb cable connected. This is great! Gprs indeed feels slow and sluggish. The user tm in my files is arbitrarily chosen. It is said it's just better to connect with supplying a user and password.
