How to use your BlackBerry 8800 as a Bluetooth modem for Mac

In a marathon surfing session early this evening, I found myself reading a nearly five-month old post on fibble.org entitled HOW TO: Use your 8800 as a Bluetooth Modem with your Mac.

Site admin grant recommends that you do this by performing the following six steps:

1. Download the script here. Please Right-Click and Choose ‘Save As’. It's important not to open it in a text editor, as the script can become corrupted.
2. Copy the script into the folder /Library/Modem Scripts. That's the Library folder at the root of your hard drive, not the one in your user folder.
3. If you’ve already paired your Pearl with your Mac, open Bluetooth Preferences, Select your Pearl from the list of devices and press ‘Configure…’. (If you haven’t, choose ‘Set up Bluetooth Device’ - the following dialogs will be shown after you’ve paired your phone with your Mac. Make sure your Pearl doesn't require a password for your mac to connect to it - the 'Trusted Connection' option for the pairing should be set to 'Yes' on your phone, not 'Ask'.)
4. Make sure ‘Access the Internet with your phone’s data connection’ is checked. Also, make sure ‘Use a direct, higher speed connection’ is selected. Click Continue.
5. In the Modem Script pulldown on the following screen, Select ‘BlackBerry 8800’. Use the following settings for the other fields, then click Continue:
   • Username, Password: leave blank
   • GPRS CID: *99***1#

6. Open the Internet Connect application. Select the Bluetooth icon at the top. Under Phone Number, put your APN (for T-Mobile and the BlackBerry Unlimited plan, I use wap.voicestream.com, for Cingular it’s “wap.cingular”). Type a username and password (I use guest/guest, for Cingular you’ll use “WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM” as the username and “CINGULAR1” as the password) in the appropriate fields.

Anyone try this?
