Connecting Mac, Tungsten using Bluetooth to surf web

I'm trying to use Bluetooth to connect my new Palm Tungsten to my Titanium Powerbook. It appears that the only protocoal the Tungsten can use is PPP, SLIP or CSLIP to access the Mac.

After some poking around, it seems that I need to be able to basically run my Mac as a PPP server, upon which then the Tungsten will be able to communicate, allowing me to use my LAN connection to surf the web on my PDA.

Any tips? Where can I find an app that will let me turn my TiBook running X into a PPP server?

thanks in advance

I found this article at macosxhints.com to be very helpful in setting up this very thing. I did this with my iBook and it worked great. I've never seen WebPro work that quickly.... ;)

You do, apparently need 10.2.x to make it work though... I did this with 10.2.4 with a Tungsten T....
