... using the command line on Ubuntu. These are just the core bluetooth commands and the hint does not deal with specific mobile devices or the settings for your specific provider. It is basically a reminder for myself.
First you need to identify the bluetooth address and the channel using

The modem device can now be added with
rfcomm:
sudo rfcomm connect DUN 00:23:F1:21:63:0F 1
Connected /dev/rfcomm0 to 00:23:F1:21:63:0F on channel 1
Press CTRL-C for hangup
The tool reports that the modem device can now be used at
/dev/rfcomm0. This can now be set in
/etc/wvdial.conf to connect to the provider.
This can be done quite nicely through /etc/conf.d/net and the pppd module. What I've never been able to get working is using PAN/NAP instead of dial-up but I suspect my phone is partly to blame. It works the other way round though.
