Re: Ricochet on mac os x

That's pretty close to what I use on mac os x (and should work on 
freebsd, but I've not tested the new bluetooth stuff in current just 
yet) to share my laptop wifi connection with my palm via bluetooth.  No 
mgetty, just have pppd listen on the port.  You'll have to change the 
/dev and might want to hack the NAT stuff.

Cheers,
Cliff
