MacBookPro and PPP

You need to have the cable and phone plugged in for the 
Network  
control panel to give this new port option setting for you
to add.

Thanks I'll try it tonight but I thought the PPP option
would show as a result of the 
protocol you choose. For example, if I choose Airport there
is no PPP option. If I chose 
Bluetooth there is a PPP option. But I need Modem with a PPP
option because even if I fill 
out all the fields under bluetooth my MacBook will try and
RX/TX using bluetooth rather 
than the USB port my cable is connected to. My phone
doesn't have bluetooth so I don't 
get that option.

Anyone using a MacBook Pro OSX 10.4.7 and a Verizon 1x data
phone as a modem?

Thanks
