[maemo-users] Using phone as modem

[From: Andrew Daviel]

Somewhat off-topic, but I suspect there's the expertise on this list.

A while ago I had a Nokia 6820 phone which I had working as a modem from 
a Linux laptop with a USB cable and pppd.
Then I had it working with an N810 over Bluetooth. Then the laptop was 
stolen and I lost the phone. Now I have a Nokia E71 phone on the same 
carrier. When I paired the new phone with the N810 the modem connection 
worked.

I have a new laptop (Dell inspiron 1525) with a Bluetooth card. I'd like 
to use that with the 
phone, too, but I'm not sure how. It's got Fedora Core 9. I assume if the 
N810 can connect then the laptop ought to be able to

Any suggestions ?
