Michael, I have a Cingular 8525 with the latest AT&T firmware installed. I'm not sure how similar to your device is, but maybe this helps you.
There's a program called "Internet Sharing" that it should be used to connect to the device. Previous firmware had a setting for that, I don't remember the name though. I didn't tried (yet) to connect to kannel with this device, but I'd start checking that. I'd also check setting extra BT ports from the BT configuration menu. Hope it helps.
