I see that Apple is now offering a Bluetooth USB adaptor (from d-link systems), and will soon make Bluetooth software for Mac OS X available for connection to Bluetooth enabled cellphones.

However, since the Ericsson software is PC only, I wonder if anyone here has successfully connected to their T68's via IR, cable, or Bluetooth running the Ericsson software in Virtual PC? If so, I assume I could get this Bluetooth USB adaptor and use it under VPC...?

Thanks for any help!

I've tried to do the same with a Usb-Irda infrared device. I know the usb-device works under OSX, but it will not be set up correctly under VPC (5.0.2)

You *might* expect the same problem using a usb-bluetooth device.

Let's hope there will be a native software package from Ericsson for the mac in the future

Just my €0.02

Thanks for the info.

I was worried that might be the case. Oh well.

Tip:
If you have a working (Usb-)Irda device using OSX, check out the following link:
