Treo 650 Hacked: Dial-Up Networking via Bluetooth

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!"

  1. Re:Linux is dead unlike Bluetooth by master0ne · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    as well as the fact that ubunutu was NEVER ment as a server distro, hence 0% of the SERVER market is a GOOD thing, and kubunutu was not an attempt to save ubunutu, but an attempt to please KDE users (which btw worked quite well) Linux is not dead, and the only example the troll provides is server stats (note how he never mentions RedHat's server statistice?) Alot of people use linux on home boxen. Debian is only old because they prefer to remain stable, if you try a "testing" distro it is quite up to date (well more than the troll let on) Slackware workes fine on my amd Athlon 2700+ box, aswell as all the other boxen ive installed it on (provided i can config it right... can be confusing sometimes)... so this thread was a total troll, as shown by a complete attempt to disinform the public, aswell as a lack of link to the article where the AC supposedly read this...
