No. UP just means the connection is... connected. There aren't UP and DOWN (stream) connections, if that was what you were thinking.

Just spent a couple hours trying to suss this out with chrialex, and failed completely. It connects, seems to route correctly, but can't actually get any data over the connection. I don't know if it's an authentication issue, or a protocol issue, or what. Not my area of expertise. (Assuming I have an area of expertise.)

It does seem like there's 2 different username/password combinations used for ppp (yourphonenumber@uscc.net/yourphonenumber) and EVDO (yourMSID@uscc.net/yourMSID), respectively... I don't know if that's throwing a monkey wrench into the works, and have no idea where those two separate sets of credentials would go.
