NAME

       upldif - Barry Project's LDIF contact uploader

SYNOPSIS

       upldif [-p pin][-P password][-u][-h][-v]

DESCRIPTION

       upldif reads a list of contacts in LDAP LDIF format from stdin, and overwrites the Blackberry's Address Book database with those contents.

OPTIONS

       -p pin Specify the PIN of the device to talk to.  Only needed if there are multiple Blackberries plugged into your system at once.

       -P password
	      Simplistic method to specify device password.

       -u     Actually do the upload.  If not specified, upldif only dumps the parsed LDIF data to stdout for verification.

	      Note! If this option is specified, all existing contacts on your Blackberry will be deleted and replaced with the LDIF contacts.

       -v     Dump verbose protocol data during operation.

       -h, --help
	      Show summary of options.

RETURN STATUS

       In the event of a fatal error, the message will be written to stderr, with an error code of 1.

NAME

       pppob - Barry Project's program to access the Blackberry modem for pppd

SYNOPSIS

       pppob [-l filename][-p pin][-P password][-s][-v]

DESCRIPTION

       pppob  is a program suitable for use in pppd's pty option file.	It talks to an available Blackberry and provides modem access on stdin and
       stdout.

OPTIONS

       -l filename
	      Causes verbose debug output from the -v switch to be written to filename instead of stderr.

       -p pin PIN of device to talk with.  Only needed if you have more than one Blackberry connected at once.

       -P password
	      Simplistic method to specify device password.  In a real application, this would be done using a more secure prompt.

       -s     Use Serial mode instead of the default IpModem mode.  Older Blackberries used a serial mode based on  a  similar	protocol  to  what
	      database	access	uses  for  retrieving  data.   Each packet had a size and socket number prepended to the actual modem data.  Newer
	      Blackberries have dedicated USB endpoints that behave as read/write points, and do not bother  with  this  size/socket  format,  and
	      therefore  transfer less data across the USB bus.  By default, pppob tries to use IpModem mode if proper endpoints are detected, and
	      otherwise falls back to Serial mode.  This switch skips IpModem mode entirely and tries Serial mode immediately.

       -v     Dump verbose protocol data to stderr during operation.
