I need help!! BADLY!!

I have been trying for days to connect to the TMO internet via BB bluetooth modem, and had only limited success. I am APPARENTLY getting connected, but there is absolutely NO throughput. A ping command comes back, "unknown host." I have collected information from TMO --IP addresses, Gateway, INIT string-- and still cannot seem to get the modem to TALK to the internet past the CHAP handshake. I'm using, #pppd call TMO as my command line.

Here's what I have, so far --connection, scripts, config files, syslog:

Connection

# hcitool scan
# [macaddress] BlackBerry 8100

# hcitool cc [macaddress]

#hcitool auth [macaddress]
#[result] no connection

# rfcomm bind hci0 [macaddress] 4

I can then issue...
# echo "ATZ" > /dev/rfcomm0
#
...and see the blue light flash on the BB... meaning, I trust, that the modem understood. I also issued other commands, and each time, the blue light flashed.

SYSLOG (This was done after 'ifconfig eth0 up' and a ping waits for something to come back ...but nothing does. NOTE:: Interface 'eth0' is trying to connect !!?? It isn't even configured, nor does Network Manager even show my Bluetooth modem. ) What the devil is 'avahi'???? That's a new one on me...
