DUN using Cingular / AT&T Treo 680 on a Mac
It only took me about 3 hours of fiddling (I’m obsessive compulsive), but I got Dial-Up Networking over Bluetooth working with my Treo 680 using Mac OS X and Internet Connect.
First, pair your Treo 680 with your Mac. Setup the device and choose the only thing it will let you — using your Higher GPRS connection to access the Internet.
Create a new configuration under Bluetooth in Internet Connect. I named mine “Cingular GPRS”.
Telephone Number: wap.cingular
Account Name: WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM (all caps)
Password: CINGULAR1 (all caps)
For the Modem scripts, you’ll have to use one of it Ross Barkman’s Generic GPRS scripts. I hit the jackpot with:
Generic GPRS CID3 +CGQREQ
Using the WAP.CINGULAR, I got:
86kb/s download and 20kb/s upload
I found a post on wap.cingular vs isp.cingular that shows the differences between the settings. Most notably, the IP is public, which is nice for those doing VPN stuff, and is cool if you’re running a web server on your Treo (hah)!
Telelphone Number: isp.cingular
Account Name: ISPDA@CINGULARGPRS.COM
Password: CINGULAR1
I was up to:
102/s download and 33kb/s upload
But, it could have been a fluke — it appeared to be about the same.
