AKU 3.x DUN->PAN issues

With AKU 3.0 and up, Microsoft removed the Bluetooth Dial-Up-Networking (DUN) profile, and replaced it with the Personal-Area-Network (PAN) profile. Additionally, there is *supposed* to be a utility in AKU3.x called "Internet Sharing" to use the new PAN feature. Unfortunately, this is currently MIA from the AKU33 ROM. This really only affects those that use their PPC as a modem, since this is the only time these features are used.

For those on the Windows side, once the Internet Sharing app is found, they'll be fine as Windows supports the PAN BT profile. Some of us using Macs are screwed, however, as Mac OS cannot support PAN at all.

Somehow, I managed to restore the DUN profile on my AKU33 6700... Supposedly its not possible, but I was able to add it and pair my 6700 with my iBook and use it as a modem. This afternoon, I will be re-flashing with a virgin AKU33 ROM, and comparing reg keys to try to track down what I did so that others can use it as well.
