Recent Issues: Mac Tethering with BlackBerry BOLD on Rogers

Recently, after upgrading my BlackBerry BOLD firmware to v4.6.0.282, I experienced difficulties establishing connections for tethering from a Mac.

Nothing had changed on my Mac but I always got "Could not negotiate a connection with the remote PPP server. Please verify your settings and try again" when trying to connect.

Then I followed this URL to replace PPPD on my Mac and it worked out great for me.
