Hope this helps someone.
Glad to hear I could help! (Feel free to thank my posts ) Let me offer something else to y'all. If you create this little script in /sdcard and call it "fix", and "chmod +x /sdcard/fix" in your terminal, then every time you turn on your phone you open your terminal and type "su" then "/sdcard/fix" and you should have internet. (But you gotta do airplane mode on/off after that)

file you call 'fix:'

Code:
#!/bin/sh
cat > /etc/ppp/pap-secrets << EOF
phoneOResn#@uscc.net * phoneOResn#
EOF

cat >> /etc/ppp/options.smd1 << EOF
user phoneOResn#@uscc.net
EOF
---
remember to replace phoneOResn# with your phone# or esn# or msid#, whichever works for you (I think it depends on where you live... and some USCC people don't need a name and password at all!!) update.. try this:

is the file in case it helps.

Remember after you copy it to your SD card you have to type "chmod +x /sdcard/fix" at least once from within the console or terminal, and you always have to type "su" before you run "/sdcard/fix" every time you open up your terminal to run the internet fix script I just posted, and then Airplane mode on and off. Enjoy!

PS. There is probably also a way to make the script run through a button on your homescreen, but I am not so good with GUIs, I am more comfortable in the shell. Maybe someone with Android scripting toys can help us out?
