Questions about using Mobile Phone as Bluetooth-Modem

Hello Listmembers,

i had created a file with the following content:
/etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf:
rfcomm0 {
# # Automatically bind the device at startup

        bind yes;
#
#       # Bluetooth address of the device
        device 00:1D:F6:05:B3:98;
#
#       # RFCOMM channel for the connection
        channel 3;
#
#       # Description of the connection
        comment "Samsung SGH-U700";
}

Iam using Fedora 8 and Gnome Desktop the Device is already paired via the Gnome Bluetooth Pin Helper Stuff. The Configuration file create for me on boot a device with the following permissions and ownership:
crw------- 1 drindt root 216, 0 1. Feb 19:57 /dev/rfcomm0

As frontend iam using gnome-ppp for dialin. but the problem is that i must use gnome-ppp as root to get an internet connection. if iam starting gnome-ppp as user drindt then i get the message after klicking connect that the device is busy. Iam confused about because /dev/rfcomm0 has IMHO correct permissions and ownership for using as regular user.

Another Thing is iam using a EDR capable Hama nano Bluetooth Dongle lsusb told me that it is:
Bus 006 Device 002: ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode)
but when iam using the FTP Service for instance iam using nautilus-sendto the filetransfer for a file with 3MB like an mp3 clip needs more than some minutes. the phone is also capable of EDR and can talk with up to 3Mb/s and its only some centimeters from the dongle away.

here are the versions from my bluetooth stuff:
bluez-libs-3.20-1.fc8
bluez-utils-3.20-4.fc8
bluez-gnome-0.14-8.fc8
bluez-utils-alsa-3.20-4.fc8
bluez-utils-cups-3.20-4.fc8
Linux 2.6.23.14-107.fc8 #1 SMP Mon Jan 14 21:37:30 EST 2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Thanks for all suggestions.
-Daniel

Hello,

What's the modem's speed on the phone ?
Some are very slow.
Did you compare with transfering with an other phone, system, whatever ?

Regards,

Guillaume B.
