Can I share an Ethernet DSL Internet connection via Bluetooth with an other Mac? Both machines run Panther. The DSL speed is 768 kbit/sec. Can bluetooth handle this? 1 Mbit should be enough, but can it handle the full bandwidth in reality?

Check out this hint. I've not tried it but it sound similar to what you are trying:

You don't want to share to a PC or a phone. But the basic setup on the Mac side is the same. I don't have two Macs to test it with. (Further I only have one bluetooth device) But perhaps someone could test this?
