Share internet between Mac and Newton via Bluetooth

Earlier today I was checking out the new me ages in my NewtonTalk mailing list when I came acro a very cool how-to pe ed by Panic's own Steven Frank. ecifically, he described the method he has used to get his Mac (ru ing OS 10.4) to share its internet co ection with his Newton me age pad over Bluetooth (Newton Bluetooth drivers and ecifics here). So, whenever the Newt is within 30 feet or so of the Mac, it's surfing the web, checking email, streaming internet radio, all wirele ly over Bluetooth. Awesome.

With his permi ion, we're able to reprint the tutorial here. Please note, as Steven states, that the tutorial a umes you have several things already in place (like a functioning Bluetooth setup), as getting it to work i 't for the faint-hearted, and if your Newton and/or Mac explode after trying this, well, neither Steven nor TUAW is re o ible. That said, on to the goods after the jump.

Thanks again, Steven!
