great, i'm glad you made it working :)
please let me know if you have any problems. 

unrelated to the topic: i would like to know about people's experiences with
GPRS + Bluetooth on FreeBSD. is it usable in real life or more like a toy?
what it your usage of such configuration in the real life? what is the price
range? what is the normal speed? is GPRS connection stable? is GPRS coverage 
any good? is that a reasonable configuration for road warrior type scenario? 

thanks,
max
