http://www.engadget.com/entry/1234000770021216/Apparently it was a 2-byte hack to enable DUN profile according to the accompanying thread. This shows that Sprints explanation given to OReilly.com was complete nonsense. They claimed the DUN profile wasn't working yet. This is the Sprint BS:

Sad that Sprint can't get its act together with regard to using the phones as modems and bluetooth in general.

Well there's people saying that they aren't able to hold a steady connection, so it may not be complete nonsense.

But heck, it can't be any worse than pdanet on the 600.

[speeder]

what about 600?

what about 600?
the Treo 600, the one WITHOUT bluetooth? it's gotta have bluetooth for you to hack it....:hee:

Give credit where credit is due. The guy who managed this hack is a member on TreoCentral, and there are indeed many issues with the DUN protocal that are causing resets, freezes, etc. The DUN appears to not have been tested propoerly, and so there may be some truth to Sprint claiming they will release a firmware update when the DUN issue can be resolved and will run bug-free

Also, from what I understand the latest PDAnet allows you to connect without any hacks.

Too bad pdanet's driver causes my computer to crash making the program unuseable.

Works perfectly for me.

Works perfectly for me.

That's good to hear. The driver they use causes a blue screen of death on my computer about 5 to 10min after connection. the bsod reports the problem being with pnetmdm.sys.
