Aha! It seems that I have an access issue ... |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
If I connect with the phone as root (hcitools cc 00:1A:10:5C:20:BF) I can then |
| 36 |
query the modem and dial out. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
Why would that be ... my user is a member of the uucp group: |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
# ls -la /dev/rfcomm0 |
| 41 |
crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 216, 0 Nov 19 17:44 /dev/rfcomm0 |
