I managed to connect my 8900 using the above modemscript. I did find the following link very useful http://forums.crackberry.com/f62/blackberry-mac-bluetooth-tethering-guide-385171/
it is a list of all the service providers wordwide and the login and password details

M – I have the same config, 9000, ATT, but a Mac Book Pro with 10.6.1 and get all the way to the end and although bluetooth pairs, the network connection is a no. Did you do anything different than the instructions? Any tweaking at all?
