Use the Treo 600, 650 and 700p as a modem

For a treo 700p w/ MacBook Pro running on OS X 10.4.7 you can use a verizon 700p with the 15 (DUN - Dial up networking) fee and get online as i'm making this post right now.

Follow the instructions in the blog.

1st - create a configuriation under the apple go to preferences and create a device. Select mobile phone, sync up devices with the pass keys. follow the screen shots at the bottom of the blog.

Trouble shooting if you're trying the blog and it's not working as I did last night. Try restarting your mac and your treo (take out the battery). Then try creating a new configuration as well as re syncing your blue tooth.

Lastly which may have been my problem is that the Palm Service rep told me that you may need to wait 24 hours before the DUN service is actually updated.

USB Modem - he said this was up to Apple if they were going to support a driver for that device and palm only supports the bluetooth elements of it.

The service is not that super fast but definatley works to access my email account online and download meg size ppt and such.

hope this helps... it really does work if you're willing to pay the 15 dollars.
