There are a few ways to use the Treo for DUN. The first is through your provider (you'll need to have it included in your plan). The second is with a 3rd-party app, such as PDANet or USModem. The third is with a hack that's floating around the net.

You should know, the 2nd and 3rd options offer no guarantee you won't incur any additional charges from your carrier. FWIW, I've used PDANet a couple times since getting my 700p (used it a good bit on my 650) without any extra charges. I've also heard that people have been successful with the hack, as long as they took the time to set it up properly.
