I just ordered a macbook which i will be using as my primary computer for school and other things. I will be booting up windows xp to work with my cingular 8525 and that is fine with me. I do however want to be able to use my phone as a modem within mac osx tiger. Is this possible? I'm ok with either bluetooth or usb, although i would prefer both if its possible. Is it possible?
Thanks.

i would like to use my xda2 as a regular wireless phone.
i thought it could be possible by putting an isdn-card into my pc and then connect to that pc via bluetooth.
however i have no idea how to do it or what software is needed.
could anyone help me with this please?
when the pda is connected to activesync over usb or bluetooth it have access to the same network as the pc
yes, i know, but i would like to know wich software i have to use to make it possible to use it as a regular phone.
Wait, let me get this straight:
You want to use your XDA2 and laptop to dial through the fixed phone line where XDA will act simply as wireless headset (like DECT phones)?
I don't think such software exists, the closest you can get is using Skype over WiFi or the PC internet connection (via ActiveSync).
Besides, can ISDN card even make voice calls? I think you need a good old fashion analog modem for that.
afaik there does exist a software for that for linux, but my pc is windows based.
and yes, isdn can make voise calls (search google for isdn cis).
for linux have a look at this post:

Asterisk (http://www.asterisk.org/) works. You'll have to set up a linux box to run it on though.
and exactly that is my problem.
i only have a windows pc that i could use for that.
cant you just dualboot ?
or boot of a cd into linux heck recall linux distro's
back in the day which could fit on a floppy
You could run linux on a secondary inexpensive low spec box. Don't be afraid of linux, it's worth giving it a try
im not afraid of linux, but i have two pcs, one htpc and one to work with.
and since i do not want to reboot one of these to be able to use my telephone, i just cant install linux.
and since im still going to school, i dont have that much money to afford another pc.
so does nobody know of a windows solution for this problem?
Hey all, sorry for the remedial questions, but I am pulling my hair out trying to get my phone connected to my laptop thru ActiveSync via Bluetooth. I have the verizon xv6800, running dcd 2.3.2, activesync 4.5 and windows XP.
Anyone have a noob step by step? I have read the phone docs and the activesync docs and I cannot get it. My ports are matching and I can "connect" to the laptop, meaning my pc sees it as a bluetooth device and vice versa.. but not transfer anything or connect via activesync.
Thanks.

anyone help out?
I am too having the same problem. I had given up but if someone would be willing to help that would be wonderful.
ive never been able to get bluetooth activesync to work on XP but it works flawlessly on vista.

Hi Guys
I just got a new laptop and paired my laptop with my phone.
So I have "Dial Up Networking" as an option. It asks for USERNAME/PWD and the NUMBER to dial.
I was wondering can I use the BT Dial Up for connecting my laptop to my phone and tether. It works when connected over cable.
Thank you!
Bump - ------
I did not have to do any of that, just go to internet sharing on the Mogul turn it on and connect the Mogul to the Laptop using your USB and that's it, at least that worked for me.
..... that if I understood what you are trying to do correctly, also I haven't tried it with Bluetooth though!!!!
Yeah it already works for me when using a USB cable using the internet sharing.
I was hoping that I could ditch the cable now that my laptop has BT and it has paired up with my mogul!

Come on every one...this has to be possible!!! Help me! I want to ditch the cable!
I want to Tether/Share my modem over USB not BT, Wifi, if its more relable then the BT connection would be fine to.
any suggestions?
Im on a Macbook running the latest and greatest.
I actually use the bt tethering as it is just as fast as USB and honestly using the usb on the mac for anything other than charging would be a headache. second you can keep your 6800 in it's holster and connect just fine as well. sorry i don't have more info but it does work very well IMHOP.
TY

you will never be able to tether over USB because that requires a computer that recognizes that the HTC device is a LAN connection. and since the software was built for windows and the OSX drivers are not built in you cannot tether over USB
allright then maybe you can help me with my very unstable BT connection, 90% of the time im lucky to keep a data connection for most the 15mins until I get a unexpected error
This procedure works great for me, either with USB or over BT.

However it involves using a commercial program, but there is a free trial.
http://mac.eltima.com/sync-mac.html
SyncMate --
It's free and works perfectly.
Not only will it let you sync all your phone info to your mac, it'll also let you mount it as a disc and even use the internet connection on your mac via usb.
Tethering is the thing I miss most - and the reason I still carry my g1 with my laptop.
I have heard that htc sync offers connection shareing - but I use linux.
What does everyone else use? Hopefully there is one of you out there with a good linux solution

I was using Proxoid with my BH2 with Ubuntu. It wasn't fun to set up, but it worked well.
On this note, anyone get Bluetooth DUN working on win7 via PDAnet?

I don't know if there's a solution for linux, but I had been using PdaNet with my G1 before I got the slide. I assume that it would still work. You should check it out in the market.

same question here. i'm probably just confused with the setup tho =[
does the help
Straight from junefabrics the ppl that made pdanet
Bluetooth DUN does not require installing anything on the computer end. So it supports all operating systems. You can install the phone piece directly from Android market.
After enabling Bluetooth DUN in PdaNet, you need to pair your computer with the phone. Use the Bluetooth configuration software on the computer end to look for the Android pone and pair with its "Dial-up networking" service. After that your bluetooth software should create a new dialup network connection over the Bluetooth modem. Use "123" as the phone number and blank username/password.
Again make sure you connect using the Bluetooth software that comes with your computer. Do not use the PdaNet Desktop client which is only for USB connection.
Since different systems come with different Bluetooth configuration software, you can simply Google "Bluetooth Dun setup instructions on YOUR_COMPUTER_OS_NAME" if you need more help.
also it says on there that only dun works on linux but u will have to to website for that
easy tether??
Has anyone tried to use easy tether? it automatically sets up tether through usb not sure if it works haven't tested it.

Saw this, but didn't work. Plus i think 123 is for Sprint, TMO is *99#, I think.
I have used both easytether and PDANet free version. They both work about the same. you install one app on the phone and hook up via usb to the computer and the computer downloads the drivers needed. very fast and easy setup and besides installing an app and plugging in usb cable you don't have to do anything. It worked great for me but it does require you connect via usb so would not be wireless by any means. I was connecting to a windows 7 computer.
figured out the bluetooth dun w/ pdanet.
if you've already tethered via usb, you should have 'PdaNet Modem' in your network connections.
right-click into its properties.
under the General tab & Connect using: , you should see the option 'Standard Modem over Bluetooth link #_'. make sure it is checked.
and the phone number is 123. username/password left blank.
apply all changes.
open pdanet on phone.
enable bluetooth dun.
it should pair the two.
connect to PdaNet Modem on computer
