Oh, hmm, maybe I was wrong then - since I don't have Symbian60 I wasn't paying that much attention, but there certainly seemed to be a lot of discussion about it. > > (The idea is to have the ability to use the phone as a cordless phone > > doing VoIP over the bluetooth PPP connection). > > I don't think a bluetooth ppp connection will get what you think.

The P900 will let a computer (that's properly paired with it) to prod it over Bluetooth. The P900 then makes a PPP connection back to an rfcomm emmulated serial port on the PC and you get a proper PPP connection between the phone itself (not the GPRS provider) and your PC. Most applications are quite happy using this PPP connection for all internet access, although a couple of applications are nasty and insist on opening a GPRS connection instead. The alternative is to use the Bluetooth "Cordless handset" profile, but that would require more software on both ends since neither Symbian, nor Asterisk support doing that ATM AFAIK. > So far the buzz around here has been in using the cellphone as a audio > device via the bluetooth connection if the proper profile was inluded. I did play with getting my Bluetooth headset working with the (very alpha) ALSA bluetooth driver, but the driver just outputted noise to my headset for a few seconds before crashing the BlueZ stack on the PC. There's lots of chatter on the BlueZ mailing lists about doing bluetooth headset support but noone seems to be actually _doing_ anything about it. :) (I for one don't have anywhere near the experience with Bluetooth and ALSA to work out how to do it myself). - -- - Steve Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://www.nexusuk.org/ Servatis a periculum, servatis a maleficum - Whisper, Evanescence -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Public key available at http://www.nexusuk.org/pubkey.txt iD8DBQFA/6aG5zUOsIV3bqERAuaUAJ4x+li1edGPBZKwx4pPFLVTaqkcFgCeJsG3 4DbExKN/KR7oRcGhnsWiVNw= =RqFI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
