These instructions are specific to a Tre650, but the basics should be applicable to any other GPRS device on Cingular. It is required that you have a PDANet plan enabled for any of this to work, obviously.

This also doesn't go into installation of bluetooth drivers for specific dongles. My dongle is a cheapie generic dongle I got from Fry's that uses the BlueSoleil drivers. I can likely help you with that, but if you use WidComm or some other bluetooth stack, I can't help you.
