Running a dial-up over bluetooth to a S700i.

Most of this is cargo-culted from the pages listed here - with most of it coming from here.

Installed bluez-hcidump, bluez-pin and bluez-utils.

Used hcidump and sdptool to scan for the device - got the device's id.

bluez-pin worked for me - so I kept that.

Config files.

/etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf - unchanged

/etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf

rfcomm0 {
bind yes;
