Hi Oliver,

I have used chan_mobile over the years on a number of occasions with 
several different Nokia phones. I would say that even if in theory it 
might be able to work with some USB over IP software for the bluetooth 
dongle, it's probably not worth the hassle in practice. It's quite 
likely that it will create too many problems, which will probably 
outweigh the benefits of what you are trying to do. Bluetooth already 
introduces a certain delay/latency in the communication path - by adding 
and IP link in between, that will only get worse.
