Can FreeBSD with > obexapp act like a mobile phone? it does not matter, really. obex push/file transfer is exactly the same. it does not matter if it runs on pc, pda or mobile phone. to answer your question, yes, obexapp can push "objects" (such as pictures, vcards, etc.) to obex push capable device (again could be mobile phone, pc, pda or whatever). i've used obexapp to push vcards and picture to nokia and sony ericsson phones. > (I'm sorry if this is a dumb question; I'm not familiar > with these protocols.) its ok :) think about it this way: obex is a protocol (think almost binary http). protocol is a protocol no matter what device implements it. difference between push and file transfer is that file transfer allows you to browse/create/change folders, create/delete files, etc. much like regular ftp client. push only allows you to pull/push "objects" from/to an "inbox" folder. > > > Actually I hoped that someone who owns such a photo frame > > > could confirm (or deny) that it works.

Thanks for your offer to help! ok :) thanks, max
