Bluetooth can come into play at two places: 1. Between Headset and PC in case you are using a Bluetooth headset. For this you need http://bluetooth-alsa.sourceforge.net/ It should as well contain a few helpers that make skype play nicely with BT headsets like picking up and hanging up with the buttons and switching between headset and main sound system. I have successfully used this with Skype. 2. Between the Networking-Stack and the Transport Network (usually the internet), in case you are using a bluetooth connection to connect to your uplink. This is where you need other stuff depending on what your uplink is like. E.g. the modem profile if connection via a BT-modem, the network stuff, if connecting via antother BT-PC, ... I haven't tried this, as I feel BT is inadequate for my bandwidth needs. CU, Andy ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
