Sort of. The 1st half of the article is about pairing, which I had already done.
In the 2nd half pppconfig didn't make any sense to me though. Most of the ncurses dialogues didnt seem to be about what I wanted to do and after completing the wizard with largely random/default inputs I couldn't find any config file that I might have adapted manually.

Frankly, I don't even know the difference. Maybe what I've been trying so far isn't "tethering" at all.

I guess I wouldn't care about the details as long as it works and is half-way convenient.

I don't have my N900 at hand, so I can't check right now:
Does this mean, that by default whatever kind of "network" won't work on the N900 via bluetooth?
If so, that might explain my problems. But then I don't understand why it worked years ago.
