I barely understand RFCOMM or PPP Dial-up > which I think is the method being used for this. as usual, if you want to provide bluetooth services on a freebsd box you need to run sdpd(8). another thing you need to do is to run bluetooth LAN (LAN Access Using PPP) profile daemon rfcomm_pppd(8). the purpose of rfcomm_pppd(8) is to accept *incoming* rfcomm connection from the remote bluetooth client (i.e. your phone) and then run ppp(8) on it. therefore you need to prepare an entry in your /etc/ppp/ppp.conf file for the remote bluetooth clients. please see rfcomm_pppd(8) and ppp(8) man pages for examples. so, the steps are prepare 'rfcomm-client' section in your /etc/ppp/ppp.conf file. # sdpd # rfcomm_pppd -s -C 1 -l rfcomm-client # sdpcontrol -l browse you should see LAN service offered on freebsd box. note: if your phone is symbian based you might need to add '-S' option to rfcomm_pppd(8) command line. also for some phones you might need to adjust chat script in /etc/ppp/ppp.conf file. max
