OBEX is another example, where clients will put/get objects from the server. > Still I guess you could just run 'ppp rfcomm' instead.. it will only work for in RFCOMM client case. i do not know how to build server applications with tty interface (pty's do not count :) thanks, max To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
