Configuring Apple OS X to use a Nokia 6300 as a bluetooth modem

With a lot of help with Ross Barkman’s handy modem scripts, I’ve managed to create a bluetooth modem connection with my Nokia 6300 on (UK) Orange. On the off chance that this is useful to someone else, here’s what I did…

This is nicely documented in the readme file included in the download, but here goes:

Downloaded the Nokia GPRS scripts from Ross’s homepage. (It’s got an excellent readme file, which fills out my instructions here.)

Unzipped the zip archive and dropped all the files starting “Nokia GPRS” into the Library folder on my Macintosh HD drive (I imagine I could have dropped it into my personal Library folder).

I entered the following settings in Apple menu > System Preferences > Network > Configure > Show: Bluetooth

PPP: Service: Orange
PPP: Telephone number: orangeinternet

Bluetooth Modem: Nokia GPRS CID1

That’s it! Easy. Thanks Ross
