Cingular/AT&T GPRS Bluetooth Internet Access
July 19th, 2007 by Kurt Wolf
I have given up on the Aircard when I switched to using a Mac at work. So, for remote Internet access, I configured my Mac to use my Treo 750. The entire setup is utilizing bluetooth. It took bit of Googling to find the right information.
Here is the outline…
- Download the modem script file
- Copy the modem script file to “Macintosh HD > Library > Modem Scripts”
- Pair your Mac with your Treo 750
- When setting up the internet connection, choose the modem script you downloaded and installed
- Disable “Wait for dial tone before dialing” in the Bluetooth Modem options (System Preferences)
- oh, you are done!
There is no need for user names or passwords or even a phone number. The modem script takes care of everything for you.
UPDATE
I got a comment pretty quickly about the script not working. There is one thing that I did have to change. Disable having the modem waiting for dial tone. I also including ome screen shots to see if these help as well.
This doesn’t work, When I select the phone on the top of the screen there is only modem:idle, and Connect, both of which are grayed out.
John, I hope the updated information helps you out.
