[BTM] How to make TCP/IP Mac to Mac connection?

[Olivier Giffaux]

Richard,

I had a file transfert speed of 56k/s while the two machine were very 
closed, dropping to around 10k/s while being at the other side of my 
appartment.

Actually, I would like to use BT as an occasionnal way to connect to 
the Internet with my iBook. So, speed isn't a real concern and it's a 
nice occasion to experiment....

However, you're right that an Airport networking is the best solution 
to use for a wireless network.

Regards,

Olivier
