6682 Tethering with OS X

I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to tether my Cingular branded 6682 to my Powerbook and/or Palm. It's not looking too good... Does anyone know if Cingular has disabled tethering on this phone? I've read some posts claiming that the http://taniwha.org.uk/ modem scripts work with the 6682, but my attempts with both my PBook and my Palm TX seem to never even get so far as establishing a BT connection. I chose the 6682 because...well firstly because the 6282 now looks improbable...and because the 6682 is iSync-able and has S60. Cingular support said only the Cingular 2125 is supported for Tethering on a Mac, but it lacks iSync and I'd rather stay with this phone if possible. Any thoughts?

Thanks.

Works for me, but I haven't gotten my Palm Tungsten T5 working with it yet.

Environment: Nokia 6682 w/firmware 4.62.0->Powerbook 17@1.5ghz/2048MB/160GB, MacOS X 10.4.6, Modem Driver Nokia GPRS 57.6k CID1, connection via Bluetooth using account name WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM, password CINGULAR1, Phone Number *99***1#.

Not much faster than my Nokia 3600 though - maybe it's because I'm using the 57.6k script

?
