When I paired the phone with the Q it showed a pairing for DUN. But, the
Q, itself, has all the menus and controls for PAN settings. I assume
it's either PAN or DUN and we'll try your instructions to see if it will
do one or the other.

DUN on my phone, and I assume any DUN connection on Alltel EVDO acts
queer. I have an app on the tablet that extracts my IP on whatever
network connection I have to the net. It also shows me throughput and
total bytes passed in either direction. When DUN connects to the phone,
the app shows a PPP connection like DSL. This goes along with the PACKET
DATA and DORMANT tags on the main phone screen when DUN connected. If
you leave it dormant too long, the phone or Alltel dump the connection
and the next time you use data it does another reconnect and wait for the
new connection to be re-established with yet another IP displayed. Of
course, this nonsense trashes things like weather.gov webpages updating
data because the Flash thinks it's still connected to the OLD IP, and
that crashes. To overcome this autodisconnect, I have to leave the phone
"doing something" to keep alive the circuit. KSEY's Cowboy Music at
24Kbps makes a great keep alive stream that doesn't use much bandwidth
but keeps my IP all day if I like. (www.radioksey.com) To listen to
cowboy music, you need to call Seymour, TX, in Cowboy country!...(c;
