Hello,<br>
<br>
On a LAN, is it possible to install a bluetooth dongle on one<br>
workstation (at this time, this workstation OS is not specified) and use<br>
it with chan_mobile ?<br>
I've read some USB over IP (or Ethernet) middleware exist but I'm not<br>
certain I'm looking at the right direction.<br>
<br>
Regards<br>

Hi Oliver,<br>
<br>
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.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>

<br>- it seems that chan_mobile is not up to expectations for voice delivery but would it remain the same for presence detection, if may call it this way ?<br><br>Thoughts ?<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
