Anyone able to say whether this works or not?

Thanks,

Roger I had the same idea today because wireless in our office was down and I couldn't connect to any of the *many* other networks that show up. I have a Mac Mini with a Bluetooth adaptor for an Apple Bluetooth Keyboard that I use in my office, so I thought I'd try that. The devices saw each other; when I entered the pairing code, I got a message from the 770 that the Mini wasn't compatible - sorry I didn't write down the error message exactly. I haven't given up, but I don't really know much about Bluetooth.
