The Affix project seems to be dead. Then, is it necessary (or not necessary) to configure/install the BlueZ packages on my Linux box which uses the Fedora Core 3 with 2.6.9-1.667 kernel version on IA32 machine? I have gone through the following links (by you) and other links. http://www.holtmann.org/linux/bluetooth http://www.bluez.org/faq.html www.bluetooth.com www.bluetooth.org www.bluez.org http://affix.sourceforge.net http://www.tik.ee.ethz.ch/~beutel/pub/talks/20010402_bt_adequate_lan.pdf http://tuxmobil.org/bluetooth_cell_apps.html If possible, please send me a link that explains about the BLUETOOTH architecture on Linux boxes. Thanks you very much Thanks and Regards, Srinivas G
