Treo 650 Hacked: Dial-Up Networking via Bluetooth

Posted by timothy on from the smartly dept.

AndersBrownworth writes "The standard Treo 650 doesn't support Dial-Up Networking over Bluetooth, but Shadowmite figured out that they just hid the option, so he hacked up an un-crippled version. Trevor Harmon shows you how to get DUN over Bluetooth working and now my new PowerBook can get on the net from anywhere!"

    Only a "fanboy" geek would give a shit about Mhz,SPEC scores etc... Regular people care about whether it gets the job done.
