,----[ Quote ]
| It used to be that taking advantage of Bluetooth on your system could be
| fiddly, and for the non-power user pretty intimidating; Fedora 8 hopes to
| change this with improvements to the interface and better integration of
| existing systems.

Use Your Bluetooth Cell Phone as a Proximity Card for Linux Based Laptops
(SUSE, Ubuntu, Red Hat)
,----[ Quote ]
| Have you ever wished your computer would keep track of your comings
| and goings and secure itself accordingly? Odds are good that if you
| have a newer laptop and cell phone you can do just that. Many laptops
| now come with Bluetooth chips and most phones now support Bluetooth
| as well. This can allow your computer and cell phone to "talk" and
| create a simple proximity badge for you to use.

| wireless access, whether through access points, ad-hoc, whatever.
