bluetooth

It’s been quite some time since I started poking with bluetooth coding, but didn’t understand it much. But it was quite some moment this afternoon. I was trying to study the rfcomm source code, and finally could able to find out the part of the code responsible for the “bind” option for rfcomm. Had a code already for scanning for nearby bluetooth devices. Edited some of theirs codes, added some lines, and came up with a code in c which scans for nearby bluetooth devices, displays them, asks the users to choose one of the devices to bind, and accordingly binds that device....

Often I hear questions like this “How do I connect to the internet from linux via my bluetooth mobile phone GPRS?” Yes, there are ways to do that, but telling a newbie to go to the terminal and do hcitool scan, rfcomm, etc. spooks him out. And also The system-config-network, while setting up a Modem Connection through it, one has to com across port numbers, baud rate, etc. and a user not used to Linux, most of the time finds these things weird, especially the users....
