Connecting to the internet using a nokia 6230 and bluetooth


Does anybody know how to get online using a nokia 6230 a bluetooth connection, (I already have pairing) and Suse 9.3. I do not know what setting to use for my modem.

I am also unsure what the difference is between connecting through my gprs and dialling an isp.

They say that they support windows xp but no linux. The guy I spoke to did not even know what linux was :-(

thanxs for your post

I have it working except for the problem of automatically loading the phone to dev/modem0

Each time I boot up I need to type
"rfcomm bind 0 "mac address" 1"
as root

is there any way I could automate this process by creating a script or some other way. I am using Suse 9.3

Not sure if it would work completely but if this is the only command you need to use then just change the sticky bit on it. ' chmod +s /usr/bin/rfcomm '.
