Fun fact, early GPRS phones usually had the computer 'dial-up' (use a DUN) using:
*99# or *99***n# where n was the stored profile number on the device.
This was a packet, not circuit-switched connection
but the computer didn't see it any differently.I think I'm going crazy now because none of the Android phones I've tried to replicate this on support this :/
They don't. Android uses usb cdc ethernet for connecting to network on devices that allow tethering. Feature phones (mostly) used PPP DUN over serial (bluetooth and I think IRDA gives rfcomm ports). A few of the later one also used the cdc_ethernet method (out of my old one.. only my K850i does)
