Ok, I am trying this for a day-and-half (not fulltime) and 5 minutes after  
I send the previous e-mail I see a typo.
In the rfcomm_pppd manpage the 'set dial' string should contain ATDT in  
stead of ATD.
Plus for me the phone number '*99#' works and '*99***1#' doesn't, but I  
thing that might be pda specific.

Thanks for the marvelous functionality of all this bluetooth stuff. I can  
now connect to a wireless network (GPRS) by a wireless network (BT). :-)

Ronald.
