Could you tell us about your setup? While I would like to use bluetooth too, 
it just did not matter yet, but I am successfully using 6230 via USB cable. I 
think bluetooth will be similar, just another device name in config... The 
most important thing is in /etc/ppp/ppp.conf - I added there

gprs-internet:
 set device /dev/ucom0
 set speed 115200
 set phone
 set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \"\" AT OK-AT-OK 
AT+CGDCONT=1,\\\"IP\\\",\\\"internet\\\" OK ATD*99***1# TIMEOUT 84 CONNECT"
 set login
 set logout "ABORT BUSY ABORT ERROR TIMEOUT 30 \"\" +++ATH OK-ATH-OK"
 set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0
 set timeout 0

and it just works. I use (with responses from computer)

tablet# kldload umodem
tablet# ppp
Working in interactive mode
Using interface: tun0
ppp ON tablet> call gprs-internet
ppp ON tablet> Warning: Sending empty PAP authname!
Ppp ON tablet>
PPp ON tablet>
PPP ON tablet>

and I am able to go through GPRS where I want...
Just a note I am using T-Mobile here - maybe you should substitute internet 
with another name. Second note - line begining with 'set dial' is wrapped, it 
continues up to 'CONNECT"', mailer limits...

I am planning to put this little bit of knowledge somewhere on the web, but 
ENOTIME yet :(
