Install PDANet on the Phone:

You don't even need it on your pc once you have it configured properly for bluetooth activesync. The only component of the software that expires if you don't register is their desktop app.

PDANet has a setting to allow DUN. Once you have it activated, the N800 will set up a successful data connection with the PPC 6700.

The only thing I can say about it is that it works pretty well. As long as you don't lose your connection, you can stay connected for hours. If you disconnect or get disconnected, you will need to soft reset the PPC 6700. The workaround that they have seems to totally redirect the dataconnection of the phone. (You can shut down PDANet to get data working again without a reset, but you still need a soft reset to get another successful BT DUN connection).

I think that Sprint crippled bluetooth dun on the PPC 6700. The PDANet application pretty much tricks the phone into using bluetooth activesync to establish DUN (that's my impression, anyway).

Let me know if this helps!
Hi TabulaRasa:
I recently upgraded my PPC 6700 to ROM 3.3 using Colonel's Custom Beta 2, which is great. I'll soon upgrade to Beta 3. It appears the new ROM replaces DUN with PAN. But I returned my N800 because I couldn't get it to connect to the PPC 6700. I'll rebuy if I know I can connect to my PPC 6700.
Questions:
Does the N800 support PAN, natively?
Does PdaNet support PAN, i.e. will my PPC 6700 connect to the N800 after upgrading to the new ROM or would I need to downgrade to ROM 2.2?
Does your PPC 6700 appears in the list of Connected Devices using PdaNet?
Which ROM do have?

Thanks
