Another bluetooth project based on chan_bluetooth http://changsmbt.free.fr/ (Not available)
chan_btp — Bluetooth Presence

This Information can be used to forward calls to any phone near to the position of a human.chan_btp does *NOT* provide call functionality.

Just wanted to let people know how to get it to compile.
http://svn.digium.com/view/asterisk-addons?view=rev&revision=451
333Fedora Core 6 bluez
Doing that, I successfully paired a phone and best of all, yum doesn't decide to remove it when you do your next update.
333Fedora Core 6 bluez versions
bluez-libs-devel-3.7-1
bluez-utils-3.7-2
bluez-hcidump-1.32-1
bluez-libs-3.7-1
bluez-gnome-0.6-1.fc6
to correct I
rpm -e bluez-utils-3.7-2.i386
rpm -e bluez-gnome-0.6-1.fc6
then download and installed bluez-utils-2.25-12 & bluez-pin-0.30-5 from core

333BlueTooth proximity script
333Asterisk 1.4.0 beta2 chan_bluetooth update
Fixes include DTMF detection and CID.
333chan_blutooth and chan_gsm_bt
By the looks the new chan_gsm_bt has the ambition to actually lift the project off the ground.
At the stage the source link on their website is broken, but i'm hoping it's because they're about to release something very nice.
All the best to them and i'm impatiently waiting on updates.
Some sort of a mailing list would be greatly appreciated also.
333CHAN_BTP needs to be updated.
Anyone who knows if this "program" is left to die or is someone updating it?
Best regards
