The smartassed hackers at Maemo have added PAN support to the Nokia N8xx
Linux tablets' bluetooth profiles. The MotoROKR Z6m on Alltel doesn't
support it. I connect through DUN like a Commodore 64 to a BBS in 1980's,
albeit faster.

Which sellphones support the PAN networking profiles??

Any info on PAN greatly appreciated.....(c;

If you are talking about WM6 devices just go to Start->Programs and then
look for "Internet Sharing." If you find "Internet Sharing" then see if it
has an option for "Bluetooth PAN."

And don't forget, even if you have the option for "Bluetooth PAN" it might
not work without adding something like "Phone as Modem" to your cellphone
plan.

BTW I've used both BT PAN and BT DUN and they both have their advantages and
disadvantages.
