This how to will explain how to set up the connection scripts in order to get your 8703e with Verizon service connected under linux.
The first thing you will need to do is follow the instrutions for installing the software found here:
Tethering With Blackberry Pearl On Linux [Thibaut Colar's Home.]
This worked perfectly for me but if you have problems check here:
http://www.blackberryforums.com/linu...-bb-linux.html
STOP when you get to the part about PPP scripts.
Plug in Blackberry, turn off wifi, unplug nic and restart computer.

Code:
$ lsusb
