Add an rfcomm device (e.g. rfcomm0) to /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf (make sure to replace the bluetooth device address 11:22:33:44:55:66 with the bluetooth device address of your N900):

/etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf
 rfcomm0 {
 #       # Automatically bind the device at startup
         bind yes;
 #
 #       # Bluetooth address of the device
         device 11:22:33:44:55:66;
 #
 #       # RFCOMM channel for the connection (whatever you get from the sdptool output)
         channel 1;
 #
 #       # Description of the connection
         comment "N900";
 }

Restart the bluetooth stack:

blackbox:~# /etc/init.d/bluetooth restart

For bluetooth pairing you can run

blackbox:~# cat < /dev/rfcomm0

and first the n900 then the Debian system should ask you for a 4 digit PIN which you define on the n900 and confirm on the Debian system. You might have to configure the helper application which is using the PIN in /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf

=== Dial-Up Settings ===

Run pppconfig and use /dev/rfcomm0 as modem interface:

In my settings for klarmobil (Germany) I manually added two lines (at+cdgcont=... and AT+CREG...):

blackbox:~# cat /etc/chatscripts/klarmobil
 # This chatfile was generated by pppconfig 2.3.18.
 # Please do not delete any of the comments.  Pppconfig needs them.
 #
 # ispauth PAP
 # abortstring

 # ispconnect
 CONNECT \d\c
 # prelogin 
  
 # ispname
 # isppassword
 # postlogin
  
 # end of pppconfig stuff
 blackbox:~#

In my peers file I changed the baud rate to the device

blackbox:~# cat /etc/ppp/peers/klarmobil
 # This optionfile was generated by pppconfig 2.3.18.
 #

For ifupdown integration add to /etc/network/interfaces

iface ppp0 inet ppp
  provider klarmobil
