Install the package rootsh, open an xterm and run the commands:
Code:
root
apt-get install bluetooth-dun-client
This should be the same as installing the package using the application manager, except that it will give a lot more debug information. Report exactly the result of running this command.

You can edit the files on the device. For example, run
Code:
root
pico /etc/ppp/chat/gprs.chat

ssh does not matter in this case. You can do in xterm anything you can do in ssh, the only difference being that ssh allows you to use large screen and keyboard.

Are the files not found or is pico not found?

what is the result of running

ls -l /etc/ppp/chat/

I'm sorry. You need to install some editor. I think the easiest shoule be nano, but I am not sure in which repository it is. Please try running the two commands:
Code:
root
apt-get install nano
apt-get install leafpad
And then in the edit commands replace pico with nano or with leafpad.
