Right now it only works by hand (I have to run commands via telnet) butat least weI know it can be done

haven't tried it. I am trying to build scripts to fire the link up automaticly.
Then I will try to mount a NFS or samba share with mp3's on it.

What's the bandwidth of a serial Bluetooth connection (SPP)?

bluetooth speed is around 1mbps, serial connection is around 7-8 times slower than this. bottleneck ? bet so..

I meant Bluetooth in SPP mode, not plain serial line

Sure, but it can be useful sometimes.
I am trying now to transfer files (via SMB) to see how it performs.
BTW the script works flawlessly... will post soon!

unfortunately there is no smbfs module in the phone, this means we cannot mount the host filesystem on our phone unless someone has an ARM object module for the smbfs... I am now playing with NFS and it seems to work well (after some tuning)... to answer a previous question yes, you can play mp3's that are on your PC directly without copying them
The bad news: Windows does not support NFS (it is a native UNIX protocol).
