	I've tried a few times to get the Treos recognized in the
OS,
if your running a fairly new version it should be in there.
It'll
show up on ucom0 .

	When I ran USB, I put in /etc/ppp/pp.conf :

vzwenusb:
 set phone "#777"
 set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 
           "" AT OK-AT-OK ATZ OK AT$QCMDR=3 OK
AT$QCQNC=0  OK \dATDT\T TIM
EOUT 40 CONNECT"
 set authname 9175555505vzw3g.com
 set authkey vzw
 set device /dev/ucom0
 set speed 230400
 add default HISADDR


	Then invoke

/usr/sbin/ppp -ddial vzwenusb


	I've also done it with bluetooth. 

In /etc/rc.local :

/etc/rc.bluetooth start ubt0
/usr/sbin/sdpd
/usr/local/bin/sdptool add DUN
/usr/sbin/rfcomm_pppd -s -C 1  -l rfcomm-server
/sbin/sysctl net.inet.ip.forwarding=1
/sbin/ipnat -C
/sbin/ipnat -f /usr/local/etc/rfcomm_ppd.nat.conf

	(I think there was something special about the sdptool I
used, it was from sdp-1.5, maybe even with a modification
from
one of the list people...)

In /etc/ppp/ppp.conf :

rfcomm-server:
  set timeout 0
  set lqrperiod 60
  set ifaddr 10.0.0.1 10.0.0.2 255.255.255.0
  enable lqr
  accept lqr
  # Do not use PPP authentication. Assume that
  # Bluetooth connection was authenticated already
  disable pap
  deny pap
  disable chap
  deny chap
  # Added by Tuc
  enable dns


In /usr/local/etc/rfcomm_ppd.nat.conf:

 map wi0 10.0.0.2/32 -> 0/32 portmap tcp/udp auto
 map wi0 10.0.0.2/32 -> 0/32


	You'll need to change the interface as appropriate.

Thanks for the suggestions, but no joy.

I have not tried BT, but the USB idea is getting nowhere, so
far.

First, the Treo is detected just fine, but the devices
created are cuaU0
and ttyU0, not ucom0. I tried those, but had no success in
getting the
Treo to dial. I just get an error setting the speed to 0. I
tried
connecting to the port with kermit, but I could not get it
to respond at
all.

Any other ideas? Guess I'll try the BT next.

Thanks again for taking the time to help.
