Cannot Connect Modem ( /dev/ttySL0 ) Using gnome-ppp - Dial-Up Connection


The Question: I'm trying to connect my Toshiba Satellite running Ubuntu 10.04 to my Eris
running Android 2.1 through a Bluetooth connection and establish a dial-up
connection (DUN) with the modem. I can connect my phone to my laptop, and I can
detect my modem (after installing drivers), which is located at /dev/ttySL0.
But when I launch gnome-ppp and enter my phone number (http://
www.junefabrics.com/android/bluetooth.php) I get a dialog that says
"Connecting... Sending Password" with Log and Cancel buttons. The log shows
this:
--＞ WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.60
--＞ Cannot get information for serial port.
--＞ Initializing modem.
--＞ Sending: ATZ
ATZ
OK
--＞ Sending: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
OK
--＞ Modem initialized.
--＞ Please enter password (or empty password to stop):
--＞ Configuration does not specify a valid login name.
The PDA-Net DUN protocol is running and shows no error. Any ideas?
Any help is much appreciated.
