Like many people, I like to dial up using my mobile phone when I'm out and about. I only have GPRS, after my 3G phone got on my nerves with its rubbish battery when using CDMA and silly camera lens cover. That doesn't mean it has its uses though. For SSH and image-free browsing it's great, and as other posts suggest it works nicely with the Nokia 770.

Unfortunately OS X is a little less friendly than the Nokia device when it comes to talking to your favourite bluetooth modem. It insists that you manually specify the correct Modem Script to get it all going, and if you can't see yours then you're pretty much stuffed. Well, that's what I thought.

It turns out that a chap called Ross Barkman has made a massive collection of dialup modem scripts for all kinds of phones and other devices, including some generic ones that I eventually used to get the X820 working. The collection is all here, with instructions on what to do.

Oh, and a word from the not-so-wise; when it asks you the phone number for GPRS, make sure you enter the GRPS APN into the field, and not the strange *9***1# nonsense that other devices ask you for. It's just something to be wary of, although Ross's scripts to include a file telling you that.
