Use the Serial Utility to create a new item using the Dial Up Network option. Call it BluetoothDialUp.

Go to System Prefs, Network, and configure the BluetoothDialUp according to instructions (no TCP compression etc.). Remember to put in dummy account/password.

Open Internet Connect... and use the BluetoothDialUp device.

Your phone must be paired.
Your phone does NOT have to be connected to the internet (it seems to dial up itself).

Hi Ross.

Interesting comments.

So how do I get my contact details into the thing either from (mac) Outlook or Address Book? PocketMac proves no joy.

Someone should release a linux os for these things...

Ross Barkman suggests,

Try creating a new Bluetooth Serial port. Bluetooth Serial Utility is provided in the Utilities folder in 10.3. Start it, and click the 'New...' button. Make the following selections:

Name: Bluetooth Phone
Port Direction: Outgoing
Port Type: Modem

and tick the 'Show In Network Preferences' check box. You can also click 'Require Authentication' and 'Require Encryption' if the phone supports them (you may have to change the settings on the phone) - you can turn these on & off at any time, so don't worry about them for initial testing

Click the 'Select Device...' button, chose your mobile phone as the device, and 'Serial Port 1', 'Dial Up Networking Gateway', 'DUN' or whatever serial port it offers as a modem service. This will create a new Network Port Configuration in the Network Preferences called 'Bluetooth Phone', which you can configure as normal.

Unfortunately this didn't work for me, in fact I'd already tried several variations of the above. I've now upgraded to 10.4, which actually does recognise the phones dial-up networking stack. But unfortunately this hasn't solved the problem, I'm still getting errors.

This all worked out of the box for my previous Nokia phones...
