    Hello all,

    I just got my Siemens SX66 (HTC Blue Angel) working under my XP vm through bluetooth in a VM!

    Parallels USB is stable enough now to talk to the bluetooth port on the Mac without losing connections! yay!

    To get this working I installed the Windows Drivers for Macintosh from bootcamp into my VM, then connected it to the bluetooth "apple wireless" device. From there, Windows auto-installed the pocket-pc modem driver and after a few minutes of hunting for Cingular's settings I was able to connect to the net through my phone.

    This makes my VM one of the largest-footprint modem drivers I have ever used.

    For those that are wondering, MS used non-standard commands in their bluetooth modem implementation on WinMobile 3. Some modems work in Mac, most don't.

    Now if only I could figure out how to share the net connection from Windows to the Mac... Parallels: how about reverse shared networking for crazy people like me?
