Reply-To: BlueZ users List-Id: BlueZ users List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: bluez-users-bounces@lists.sourceforge.net Errors-To: bluez-users-bounces@lists.sourceforge.net I've got my Treo 650 connecting to my computer over Bluetooth by following guides like: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8185 It works and the speed is acceptable. However, from what I understand it's basically using PPP over RFCOMM over Bluetooth - which seems like a bit much in terms of overhead - and appears to be limited to 115,200Kbps. I wonder if trying to use a PAN connection (perhaps the NAP configuration in the PAN HOWTO) would bypass some of the overhead? I couldn't find anything directly commenting on this. My tinkering time is limited (three kids, one on the way, etc.) so I'm reluctant to play with PAN unless I was reasonably sure it would be worth it. Thanks in advance for any information y'all can provide. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
