[a bit OT] bluetooth with MAC OS

If you have tracked bluetooth list you know I am trying to setup a 
bluetooth LAN. Let me explain what I achieved so far: now I have setup a 
bluetooth LAN access server, rfcomm_pppd runs and listen to channel 7, 
accepting ppp connection without authentication (I didn't figure out how to 
accept multiple connection yet, but now a single computer can DUN to me.) 
Now I can have FreeBSD/Windows computer connect me and samba each other:)

Now the problem comes with MAC OS. Someone in my office is using notebook 
running MAC OS X. She is a typical designer, don't know a bit about 
bluetooth/ppp; and I don't know a bit about MAC OS. On her network 
configuration -> bluetooth -> ppp there is a button "connect now", click on 
the button I am prompted with username/password, fill with random 
username/password I am rejected with "modem doesn't response". In bluetooth 
ppp configuration there is a modem selection list, about 50 modems, oops 
what is the modem for a FreeBSD server? 

I guess it must be a hard problem to work on, perhaps I need suggestions 
from people who know both MAC OS and FreeBSD, but I don't even know which 
forum/mailing list where MAC OS gurus usually meet. I googled around 
without luck: on google they are mostly talking about MAC OS <-> bluetooth 
cell phones. If you can simple guide me to a good MAC OS list that would be 
helpful!

Thank you.
