I had an iPAQ 2215, connected through my T610 cell phone to get a GPRS connection for the PDA. I was also able to get the laptop, with bluetooth, to connect to the cell phone and get a GPRS connection to surf the web.

Any idea how to do this with the 6315 as the phone? I'm using a 15" Powerbook.

Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure about doing this with a PowerBook (I have an iBook but haven't tried on that yet), but I followed this thread to set everything up for my Windows notebook.

After much frustration I gave up for a while. The connection was there but it would drop almost instantly, which seemed to be quite common. I was later pointed to another thread which provided an update to the Bluetooth stack that had been stripped from a patch to the i-mate. After installing it, everything worked perfectly.

The thread containing the patch is linked at the end of the thread I listed above. I've also posted on it elsewhere in these forums. Search for "6315 modem" using the "Search for all terms" option and you'll find it.
