there is this... but on my laptop it will run, but won't find any bluetooth devices. The command is "kbtobexclient", but it is a kde program. It's called Bluetooth OBEX Client - it worked fine on our main pc though. Try it, see what it does for you.<BR>
<BR>
Also, try gnome-obex-server. When you run it, there is a little icon in the system tray (sorry - window$ term). In Nautilus, right click on the file you want to send and select 'Send to'. In there, you can select use of the Bluetooth client and then pick the device to send it to.<BR>
<BR>
I have noticed that Ubuntu doesn't seem to support background scanning for services. I haven't really looked into it much, but I noticed that it will only find wireless networks when you tell it to. To make my laptop see my phone through bluetooth, I have to send something from my phone to my laptop first (I use the integrated nautilus bluetooth client).<BR>
<BR>
Hope the first half helped!<BR>

ps I'm only 14, so I could be wrong on the programs! <IMG SRC="cid:1186834008.6374.11.camel@farran-laptop" ALIGN="middle" ALT=";)" BORDER="0"><BR>
