Widcomm BT driver + HS HBH 300: no go :-(

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.bluetooth (More info?)

Hi Chris,

yes it works fine here. I am usin the widcomm 4.0, but it did with the
olders as well.

Sorry to ask, but did you put the headset in recognition mode when you
initiated the connection to the laptop?
