Hello,

let me ask something related, but on chan_bluetooth.

If this driver is faking Asterisk as a headset to the BT cellphone, does
this mean that it can only answer incoming calls, but NOT ask the
cellphone to dial a number?

I am asking because I would like to see if I can use this driver to
bypass any hardware gsm-gateway to obtain a 'gsm_trunk'.

Would something like Dial(bluetooth/33512345594, 20) work?
Of course using the correct channel indication for the chan_bluetooth
module...

TIA
