Sprint Bluetooth Regular Disconnects

Hello. I have just purchased a Sprint MM-A920. It seems like a beautiful phone. I'm using a D-Link 7120 to tether the phone via Bluetooth to my Powerbook G4. I've figured out how to tether via this method and I connect fine. All is well....for 53 seconds. After every 53 seconds, the connection breaks. Does anyone have any ideas about what this is and how I might solve this problem? My apologies if this has been discussed previously. I thought I did a fairly thorough search both on Google and here in the forums, but I haven't seen any similar issues or their solutions yet. Your help appreciated, one and all!

I thought I'd add that the phone is working just fine on a USB tether (from MM-A920 to Powerbook). I've been connected for a constant five minutes now, so it feels like this is a Bluetooth issue. Anyone have any insight?

I've always been told by Tech Support that after you pair the devices, you need to go under PPP Options and disable sending echo packets. This helps me stay on. I still get occasional disconnects but I've stayed on for over 1.5 hours before. The morning to be exact.

Thanks! I'll try that!
