Re: Bluetooth adaptors



Hi,

I have a compaq lappy (Evo N1020V) with the 'official' compaq blue tooth
adaptor for it - this sits on a compaq interface on the back of the lcd
screen/lid. Installing the drivers for it sees it initially as a USB
device.
Theres a hot key on the lap top that turns it on or off (well it turns
on/off the little blue led thats on it :)


Works ok with me nokia 6310i - but I only use it for accessing the internet
with GSN or GPRS o ver orange.

:)
Wayne.
