Nokia Bluetooth Sync

I just purchased a nokia 6230 Cellphone with bluetooth and I've been
playing with it on FreeBSD.  So far I have sent files both ways with
OBEX and I tried out the DUN profile which my phone seems to support.
When I ran rfcomm_pppd in client phone I got my phone to respond with
the error message, "You must first subscribe to GPRS."  I'm assuming
that just means I haven't set it up with my provider yet.  Though I am
at a loss as to how to get bluetooth Sync to work with my nokia phone.
That's the biggest feature I am wanting with bluetooth so I can keep my
addressbook properly backed up to my pc.  I took a look at it on windows
and it seems to establish an rfcomm port to use for the pc suite
software that came with the phone, however I haven't gotten it to work
yet.

Would the nokia phone use some kind of standard like the sync protocol
with pilot-link and pdas or would it need to be reverse engineered from
scratch to get it to work?
