10.4: Create a Bluetooth Mac-to-Mac network
Authored by: sjk on Dec 29, '05 10:44:26AM

Do you have any examples of how/when/why this would be useful? Seems to me its primary (or only?) value is when no other networking options are available but maybe I'm missing something else. Thanks.

10.4: Create a Bluetooth Mac-to-Mac network

Well, it certainly is needed only if you don't have any other networking options, but if you want a wireless network, you don't need a large coberture or super-speed (i've seen transference speeds of up to 30Kbps via bluetooth) and your Mac doesn't have an airport card, bluetooth usb adapters are quite cheaper. ;-)

Also, someone somewhere surely knows how to make internet sharing work with this bluetooth network, hopefully we'll get it working someday...

Greetings!

Thanks for confirming my hunch that it serves a useful purpose for a specific situation.
