Re: [Bluez-users] Is this list dead? Here is my problem...

[Xamindar <junkxamindar@gmail.com>]

I finally have it working!  Thanks so much for everyone's help on here. 
In the last couple of days I have updated bluez-libs from version 2.25
to 3.7 and then to 3.9 today and finally have a bluetooth applet for
gnome that allows me to configure buetooth options (very few but enough)
and pair from the gui.  Thanks to Michael as well for the minicom stuff
which allowed me to troubleshoot a lot better and figure out that gnome
ppp is worthless.  I installed kppp and configured it for rfcomm0 and it
connects and gets me an internet connection through my phone with no
trouble at all.

woohoo!
