    With 7.1 just create Wireless AP on your Bold.
    Connect using Wifi.

    1. Pair the Bold 9900 with the Mac
    2. Go to System Preferences and select Network
    3. Click the plus sign to add a new connection and then select Bluetooth dun under the interface drop down and then name the connection in "Service Name".
    4. Highlight the service you just created and then click advanced.
    5. Change the Vendor to Research In Motion
    6. Select GSM in the model drop down
    7. Enter the APN (internet.davewireless.com)
    8. Click apply and then connect
