"Easy" is relative here, the OS X interface for using a device as a modem over Bluetooth (ie, Dial-Up Networking) still has a ways to go, and various 3rd-party software that I've used on Windows sucks too. I personally think we can do somewhat better. But you're right, basically everything Bluetooth sucks right now from a user-experience perspective in Linux. I shouldn't have to touch config files to set up dialup networking. Dan -- Fedora-desktop-list mailing list Fedora-desktop-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-desktop-list
