Bluetooth access to web server...

Posted: 11-10-2004, 11:43 AM
Hi!

I want to try the following at home...

I have a desktop computer running Linux and an Apache webserver, hosting
my home page.

I also have a Pocket PC with bluetooth.

Now I what I would really like to happen is that whenever I turn on my
pocket pc, and hook it up with the desktop, I can open a browser on the
ppc and have my homepage displayed...

Is this possible?

What kind of partnership is needed between my ppc and the desktop?


Any help will be much appreciated!

Frank

You should need a Linux stack that implements at least the LAP profile - and
your Pocket PC should support it too.

The LAP is nothing but a PPP connection. Check our Bluetooth Guides (link in
SIG) for some configurations, and check this article for a list of Linux
