This is probably obvious to some of you already. For the others, perhaps this is informative and/or neat.

I was tinkering with my cellphone’s Bluetooth connectivity today and found out that you can map serial ports to the phone. Curious, I opened up PuTTY and typed in “ATDT <my phone number>”…

And it began to dial.

Quite a bit of nostalgia… and it technically means you can make fax and data calls out with the phone too. Sort of like having a modem + phone all in one.

Unfortunately, this being 2008 and not 1995, there isn’t much use for that anymore 🙂
