We successfully tested Affix for interoperability against a large amount of devices, e.g.:

� Nokia Bluetooth Phone 6210 with Bluetooth battery pack, � Digianswer stack for Windows � Compaq iPaq � Bluetooth stack for Palm OS. � Ericsson phones (T68).

Requirements:

� libopenobex1 � libopenobex-dev � python gtk library
