My understanding is that Microsoft eventually removed the DUN software components from a later version of the WM5 build so that, for example, CD's from the operators with the WM5 object code no longer had the DUN .exe (or perhaps it was a .dll). In any case I suspect that an enterprising user could, if they so chose, find the necessary WM5 DUN components on the www and install them to get DUN working in WM5 by first googling "dun wm5". and proceeding from there. I know that Bluetooth DUN works on WM5, or, at least on the build version that I have (OS 5.1.195 - (Build14928.2.2.0)), because I use WM5 DUN + the N800 whenever I am "on the road" for business. I have also used USB DUN between my WM5 device and a Windows 2000 Laptop successfully.
