Subject: [Bluez-users] advertising a linux computer as a headset?

I am interested in turning my laptop into a speakerphone for my
bluetooth cell phone. Not knowing much about bluetooth, I assume the
route to take would be to advertise the laptop as a headset. Has there
previously been any work on this?
(A search through the bluez-users archive didn't turn anything up, but
I certainly could have missed threads. If I did, a pointer to prior
discussions would be great!)

thanks!

Chris,

FYI, the asterisk project just put a bounty out for someone to implement
this sort of thing with their pbx software. So you're not the only one
thinking along these lines (but asterisk would provide a lot more than
just a speakerphone)

http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+bounty+bluetooth+cell-phone+support

unfortunately there is a bit of work required before asterisk devels can
jump in. Marcel has suggested that we move the btsco stuff entirely into
userspace as the next move.
