I have been playing with my new Kaiser(Tilt) since I got it earlier in the week. Rom is updated and everything is the way I like it. I would like to have my mac to connect to my Kaiser with bluetooth for internet access I just don't know what the AT&T setting are:

-telephone number
-account Name
-and password

I have looked all over and nothing I can find works. The Mac tells me
-A modem error occurred. Please verify your settings and try again.

What can I do to get this working? What setting are you using to make theis work for you?

You have to enable the Internet Sharing app. You can either find it in the Windows folder (IntShrUI), or you can do as I did and perform a hard reset but kill all the carrier customizations. By default, AT&T removes the program shortcut from your Programs folder. Here are some instructions, courtesy of the AT&T forums:

(1) From the Mac, initiate the pairing process with the phone. It will say the phone doesn't have any supported services, but then the last page of the Bluetooth wizard will say it supports a Personal Area Network.

(2) Open the "Internet Sharing" application on the phone.

(3) Change the method used to connect the computer from "USB" to "Bluetooth PAN".

(4) Click "Connect".

(5) On the Mac, click the Bluetooth menu on the Menu Bar and select "Join Network on [device]". (The Internet Sharing app on the phone should now say "Connected".)

Bluetooth PAN doesn't require those settings. It looks like what you're after is Bluetooth DUN. I believe you'll need to use the WModem app that's in the Connections tab. These should be the settings you're seeking:

Type ISP@CINGULARGPRS.COM in the User name field.

Type CINGULAR1 in the Password field.

In the Dial field, type *99#.
