Share cellphone's Internet with PDA

[sn3rd]

Does anyone know how to share a cellphone's Internet connection (be it GPRS, 3G, etc) with a PDA via Bluetooth?

What type of PDA - Palm or Pocket PC? Palm you have to activate bluetooth, pair the phone and then set up a network connection... Pocket PC scans your phone and sees what services are available and DUN should be one of them, just set up the connection with the VC/MTN/CC settings and off you go... Vodacom has some guides on their site...

Can you maybe set the phone as a GSM modem on your PDA and then dial *99# with it ?

Thanks for these replies guys... Got me up and running no problem. Just paired the devices via Bluetooth and created a dial-up connection. Wasn't thinking of the PDA as being "just another computer".

Works great!
