<html><body><div style="color:#000; background-color:#fff; font-family:times new roman, new york, times, serif;font-size:12pt"><div>Hi,</div><div><br></div><div>I am trying to improve gnome-bluetooth performance of my pc internet connectivity using NOKIA cell phone.</div><div><br></div><div>I have noted down some of the gnome-bluetooth features as follows.</div><div><br></div><div><span class="tab"> </span>1. It does not require network connection and hardware.</div><div><span class="tab"> </span>2. It does not explicitly use cell phone as a modem device.</div><div><span class="tab"> </span>3. It does not use bluez protocol stack.</div><div><span class="tab"> </span>4. It treats bluetooth adapter as a controller.</div><div><span class="tab"> </span>5. It uses paired device connection with the cell phone.</div><div><span class="tab"> </span>6.
Internet connections for upload and download are handled by the cell phone.</div><div><span class="tab"> </span>7. gprs settings are transparent to the pc and reside in the cell phone.</div><div><span class="tab"> </span>8. link speed is governed by the cell phone capability and the operator.</div><div> <span class="tab"> </span>My cell phone supports gsm 1800 connection (about 2.8 mbps) <br></div><div><span class="tab"> </span><span class="tab"> </span>However the link speed i get on my pc is of 8 kbps as an average</div><div> <span class="tab"> </span>and has never exceeded 20 kbps.</div><div><span class="tab"> </span> I understand that different cell phones have different capabilities and
would like to know how to effectively use them with efficient
performance <br></div><div> <span class="tab"> </span>using gnome-blootooth.</div><div>9. PC is transparent to the gprs/gsm working of the cell phone.</div><div>10. The only hardware required is a usb bluetooth dongle adapter and a cell phone.</div><div><br></div><div>Please let me know</div><div><span class="tab"> </span> 1. if my understanding is correct <br></div><div> 2. if not please correct it. Thank you.<br></div><div><br></div><div>I have noticed that my Fedora 15 installation is using BTUSB drivers with hci0 and RFCOMM. Is this a correct configuration ?</div><div>I am aware of the BTUSB configuration details. I require conformation from the experts who have already setup such a connections.</div><div><br></div><div>I would like to know the performance governing parameters of gnome-bluetooth and a comprehensive HOWTO document if available.</div><div>Is there any
architectural document available which can be shared by the community to understand the performance issues involved.</div><div><br></div><div>with warm regards,</div><div>Atul Potdar, Pune, India<br></div><div> </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div></div></div></body></html>
