Ah OK, I have an 2gb data allowance, I've tethered before and they don't seem to notice, other than sending me a text if I get near my allowance but that happens if I use a lot of data on the phone itself anyway. So I don't think tethering/hotspot would be any different for me cost-wise.
Reflashing the phone is a bit of a pain just to get one application working. Maybe I will have to do that, although I'll see if I can gain anything from the other thread.
I think I'm losing the faith with the N900/maemo now... everything is so much hassle. It was OK at the beginning because it could do stuff other phones couldn't, but now, I just feel like going for Android where all these things are just easy.

Populate the DUN part (apparently):

Telephone number: internet.com

Am I understanding correctly that those are to populate the settings on my Mac (rather than somewhere on the n900)?
I've gone to Preferences>Network>click on "Bluetooth DUN N900" in the left hand pane, then in the settings on the right hand side I've put in what you say above (although it says "Account Name" rather than "Username".
Still doesn't work I'm afraid.
I think those might be settings for some other network ("Rogers" whatever that is?), from reading the link you gave.

Thanks for your response.
...
It seems that the one I want is v46 but I can't see it in the repositories and all the other versions that are there are for some reason uninstallable (conflicting packages) for me.
