Nokia N73 Finally I have managed to get my PowerBook connected to the internet via my Nokia N73 3G data connection.

What finally got it working was not only Ross Barkman's scripts, but also remembering the Vodafone details in relation to 3G.

1. Drop the modem scripts into Library:Modem Scripts

2. Set up PPP:
A. Open Network Preferences and select the PPP tab
B. Optional: Create a new location - call it "Mobile" or whatever (this is not absolutely necessary, since the modem config in the current location can have different settings to the existing Ethernet, etc. ports, but a separate location may be useful if you already have a mobile phone dial-up setting for the same IrDA/Bluetooth/USB port in your default location)
C. Select "Show: 'Bluetooth Modem Port'".
D. Enter your ISP name in "Service Provider".
E. Enter in "Telephone Number" the APN provided by your network, for Vodafone in the UK this is internet.
F. Enter the Account name & Password, for Vodafone in the UK this is web and web.
G. Press the "PPP Options..." button
H. Make sure that 'Send PPP echo packets' is not selected

3. Set up modem
A. Select the Bluetooth Modem tab in Network Preferences
B. Set 'Modem: "Nokia 3G <whichever version you're testing>"'

4. Connect:
A. Open Internet Connect
B. Select 'Bluetooth Modem Port'
C. Click 'Connect'
D. No dial/modem sounds are heard during connection process
