Were you able to get this working? WHen I try...it says connecting to dialup networking and then asks for a dial-in number? I just choose dial with no number and it hangs there trying to connect...any ideas?

ok..ignore the last message...I got past that part....now it will connect with bluetooth DUN but I can only get around 115kbit worth of data thru it and my Treo locks up completely, I have to do a hard reset with the stylus...and ideas?? am I running out of RAM? I'll do some more testing in a little bit...

ok it looks like I have plenty of RAM available on my Treo when it locks up...so the problem may by the Bluetooth dongle I'm using...it's the Kensington one...or maybe I need to limit the speed of the PdaNet Modem to something less than 115200?? any ideas?

i haven't had a chance to test it out yet...but do remember, it's still in Beta development ;)

i'll probably give it a shot this weekend...i'll let you know what happens.

I had no problems connecting via bluetooth, but noticed that when connecting using BT the bottleneck is apparent (115Kb/s). So much so that I went back to using the USB cable (2.4Mb/s). Using BT to make the internet connection seems neat in theory, but I'd rather have the speed!
