8700 As Modem (TMobile Users)

Anyone know how to get this to work on a macbook? i should be able to get it to work in windows through paralles or boot camp... but would rather try it with os x.

thanks
 
Wow!! Thanks N8 for this!!
I thought this was impossible to set up on my backup Antique IBM Computer.
Running on a windows 2000 - with some missing files too! hahah still working great with a 115.2 Kbps and using a brand new 8700g!!
Thanksss =)
Mucho appreciated!

Oh forgot to say that I'm actually using it right now! =)
 
~via BB (wap.rabroad.com)~okei so today I hooked up my berry on my backup pc but for some reason I got this message: error 732: your computer and the remote computer could not agree on PPP control protocols.
I tried taking the battery out of my berry, deleting and seting up my connection on the pc all over again but nothing seems to be working!!!!
PS: I've been using my berry as a modem for weeks now, I have no clue why it stopped working TODAY when I needed it the most :-(
Any help would be appreciated!! Thank you in advance.
 
I just loaded the Device Manager update from T-Mobile for my 8700g and my modem connection no longer functions. My RIM modems are no longer available for me to setup. There is only the modem that came with my laptap. Anyone have any ideas. I used this feature quite alot in the past and I just seem to figure it out. Thanks
 
Yeah... this works fabulous! Your instructions are to a "T"!!!

Have a Dell laptop and I travel a lot... you saved me $175 on that aircard! And this probably has better speed!! Lol....

Thanks for posting this!!!
 
has anyone been able to make this work for the 8800?
I had succesfully used it on a 8100, but does not seem to work on my new 8800.
Thanks
 
I got a new Tmo 8700 and just tried this out. Worked first time! In fact I'm writing this via the connection now. Only getting about 62Kbps according to DSLREPORTS.COM but hey at least it's a connection when all else fails. (Though my wife might not like that I have another way to connect to the office.) Thank you very much N8DBB!

any thoughts on while i get such terrible speed when connecting? it says im connecting at a max of 155.2 kb but when running speed test i get 5 kb...yes, only 5. its like watch paint dry. i dont think its an ie issue. i get the same results in firefox or using a dos prompt going to an ftp server
