[Asterisk-Users] Mac Mini and chan_bluetooth, has anyone told The o if it works?

[Gary]

sorry for top posting....

What I would really luv to see is a dect card tied into asterisk which

via IP and the use of repeaters..... ahhhh just a dream at the mo :-)

(closest thing I have found is the senao 428 system)
