Default PDANet over Bluetooth?

I have a copy of PDANet 1.8 installed on my Q

Now, first off, I've searched around, and can't figure these couple things out:

Number one, for some reason, Bluetooth DUN is not supported (the tickbox on the phone is greyed out, and can't seem to find out how to get it working properly. Is this disabled somehow in the phone? Do I have to hack the registry to get this working?

Number two, does PDAnet still work at hiding my tethering over bluetooth, or will Sprint give me a slap on the wrist for tethering via bluetooth and PDAnet? I can't seem to find an answer about this anywhere (understandable, as it's a rather touchy subject, I'd imagine)

I'd like to get this working, preferably without Sprint knowing what I'm doing with my data -- I have a mac so normal PDA tethering with PDAnet is kind of out of the question (works fine with my windows desktop though)

Anyhoo, thanks in advance!

I could be wrong as my experience with PDAnet is limited, but I believe it must be tethered via USB to work.

IF you can get it to tether via bluetooth instead, you won't be anymore detectable by Sprint than before.... so no worries there.

The way I found to get PDANet to to work over bluetooth is by:
1. Turning on bluetooth on PC/Laptop
2.Turning on bluetooth on Q9c
3.Run PDANet on both computer and phone
4.On phone, run ActiveSync
5.Under Menu on right button, scroll to the bottom and select "Connect via Bluetooth"
6.Sync
7.The phone should sync like it does through USB, so whatever happens when you sync it should happen normally
8.PDANet should pop its little box up and you will be able to connect

That should do it.

Good directions. I think you have to have sync'd via usb at least once before trying to sync over BT. FYI
