asterisk users - Nov 2005 - bluetooth headset with softphone or direct asterisk

Anyone doing anything with bluetooth headsets?

I'd like to use one with asterisk. If that means through a softphone OR 
directly
connected to asterisk - either way is fine.

I found the chan_bluetooth app and downloaded it but it does not compile
and have not been successful in reaching the author.

I have a kensington USB bluetooth module and a motorala bluetooth headset.

Any one have information on how to pair bluetooth modules under linux?

THanks

Jerry

on automatic proximity detection, no BT device it forwards to your
mobile.  The BT headset can be used as your 'soft phone' (more like
using chan_oss than a soft phone though).  

They have links to $20-30 BT headsets that are currently on sale too.

There's a version which should work in my CVS tree: 

 cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.infradead.org:/home/cvs co chan_bluetooth

(anoncvs password is 'anoncvs')

Both DIAX and iaxComm will use the bluetooth headset for audio.

I think that DIAX has some additional support for the "hook" button,
but I'm not
sure.  

I'd love to add such a feature to iaxComm, but a cursory google search turns
up
a flood of bluetooth stacks, and places to buy bluetooth headsets.
