I don't see why not.

Indeed last night my WinXP laptop was connected via Bluetooth to my 
Linux desktop running Bluez, and I was in a call with a friend over 
Skype. It worked rather well.

Hi Michael,

Did u connected the 2 PC's over Bluetooth and make calls between two?
If not, how could you tell that as a VOIP over Bluetooth, right?

If I am anything wrong, please correct me.

Regards,
Mohan

The laptop was connected to the Internet using IP over Bluetooth.
Over this connection, Skype was used to chat with my friend.

Hope that clarifies.

RE: [Bluez-users] VOIP over Bluetooth-Bluez? Is it possible

[Khaled]

Hi Michael,

How did you get IP setup over bluetooth?
What sound configuration did you setup?
OSS, ALSA?

I hope this isn't off-the-topic but Im having trouble getting IP to work
over bluetooth; SCO and ACL come into play and Ive been reading all over the
place and perhaps am a little confused right now!

Kind Regards

Khaled

pand at the linux end (I'm not in front of my system atm so can't look 
up the specifics), WinXP has built-in PAN support, which it offered me 
when I plugged in my USB BT dongle.

No OSS or ALSA in this instance (though on my Linux partition on the 
laptop ALSA is running as supplied in the kernel, but the sound is very 
choppy in Skype, even on my fixed-line connection) as I was running 
Skype under WinXP on the laptop.

I haven't tried attaching a BT headset to my laptop yet. I use a cabled 
headset/microphone.

No. Let's first look at how VoIP works in general


Person 1 <--> Headset <--> PC <--> VoIP-Software <--> Networking-Stack
Interface to Transport network <--> Transport Network <--> all the stuff
backwards to Person 2.

Bluetooth can come into play at two places:

1. Between Headset and PC in case you are using a Bluetooth headset. 
   For this you need
   http://bluetooth-alsa.sourceforge.net/
   It should as well contain a few helpers that make skype play nicely
   with BT headsets like picking up and hanging up with the buttons and
   switching between headset and main sound system.
   I have successfully used this with Skype.

2. Between the Networking-Stack and the Transport Network (usually the
   internet), in case you are using a bluetooth connection to connect to 
   your uplink.
   This is where you need other stuff depending on what your uplink is
   like. E.g. the modem profile if connection via a BT-modem, the
   network stuff, if connecting via antother BT-PC, ...
   I haven't tried this, as I feel BT is inadequate for my bandwidth
   needs.

CU, Andy
