As it has been said, the bluetooth part is straight forward, you just need to follow the FreeBSD handbook. For the PPP/GPRS part, you have examples of configuration files here [1], along with the page that Randy Bush maintains here [2] [1] http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/Research/SRG/netos/coms/ppp.htm [2] https://rip.psg.com/~randy/gprs-ppp.html Now, depending of your provider (i have no experience with BT but this is the unfortunate case with orange.fr), it may be wise to have an sshd on a 443 port somewhere: some providers have the temptation to sell (and not cheaper with that) only a very small subset of IP: only the 'web' ports are unfiltered ... It may even be wiser (wiser than i have been, definitely) to take that criteria into account when choosing a provider :) - yann
