Thanks. Depends on the protocol your phone uses to access the net. For PAN connectivity (which is the default Bluetooth way of Internet connectivity), FreeBSD currently doesn't ship with a daemon that implements the server-side of it. I implemented a quick 'n dirty hack implementing the PAN protocol which works fine with my Sony Ericsson (M600i) mobile, but YMMV when getting that to run/work with different phones: http://btpand.beenic.net You'll have to get a mercurial client to check it out, and read the README contained in the archive to get it to run (requires tap support in the kernel and needs you to set up the bridging/routing to get the traffic from the tap device to your local network). -- Heiko Wundram Product & Application Development
