Connect to the internet with a Verizon XV6700 and a Macbook Pro
WordPress database error: [Table 'avidauthority_wordpress.wp_terms' doesn't exist]
SELECT t.*, tt.* FROM wp_terms AS t INNER JOIN wp_term_taxonomy AS tt ON tt.term_id = t.term_id INNER JOIN wp_term_relationships AS tr ON tr.term_taxonomy_id = tt.term_taxonomy_id WHERE tt.taxonomy IN ('category') AND tr.object_id IN (8) ORDER BY t.name ASC
1. Download my custom xv6700 modem script. (right click and save it to your desktop. Remove the .txt extension at the end) Copy it to “/Library/Modem Scripts/” .
2. Download and Install a $34 piece of software called ”PDANet“ by June Fabrics . I’m lazy so I bought because I didn’t want to fuss with this initially. This enables Bluetooth DUN and also adds modem software to the phone. This software is worth its weight in gold if you’re using a PC or if you are using WinXP within Parallels.
3. Pair up your phone using the System Preference Panel. Make sure to select “Any device
3. Select ”Acces the Internet with your phone’s data connection“. You can optionally select ”Use device as a headset for this computer“. I don’t recommend it, but it is technically possible to use your phone for voice over IP applications like iChat etc. I have to warn you that it sounds terrible with the Macbook Pro’s onboard bluetooth device and your friends will disown you should you try to do this.
4. Enter your username which is your phone-number@vzw3g.com .
5. The password is vzw
6. The phone number is #777
7. And the magic bullet that I finally discovered that no one has seemed to document anywhere handy is my custom xv6700 modem script. This script was created by modifing the Sprint PCS vision script, which also works, but defaults to a lousy 230K serial data rate. This creates a bottleneck for the bluetooth modem. I have hacked the Sprint PCS Vision script to create a 768K serial connection which bumps my performance up to 242kbps outbound and 126kbps inbound. See document at end. Copy this into /Library/Modem Scripts/
8. That’s it. Now you just have to connect to your modem which will automatically connect to your phone. Select the modem icon at the top of your screen and select connect. It should take about 10 seconds total before your online.

If you continue to have problems, check your log. Select your modem icon at the top of the screen and select ”Open Internet Connect…“. Then under ”Window“ select ”Connection Log“. This will tell you exactly what went wrong.
