"if you can use?" That is the key phrase.

Microsoft does not allow you to use "Internet Sharing" to go from a
PPC/phone with fast internet to a PPC/phone with slow internet. They force
you to use BT DUN like PDANET has for that and there are times when I want
to do that.

However, you can use "Internet Sharing" via "Bluetooth PAN" to get the
internet from a Mogul to an iPAQ 210 with no internet of it's own but I
don't know who gets the credit for that.

Plus, I have not found a way to automatically start "Internet Sharing" or to
automatically connect to a device running "Internet Sharing." However with
BT DUN like what PDANET provides things can be "Turnkey" where all you have
to do is turn on the power.
