Two neat small things in Leopard
Oct 27th, 2007 by Juan Carlos Méndez-García
Yesterday I upgraded my Macs to Leopard. The main reasons for the upgrade were XCode 3.0, Time Machine and BootCamp. I had been using the latter very robustly on my machines. I read rumors a while ago about the BootCamp beta program ending for previous OS versions once Leopard was released, and I haven’t had the time to double-check.
Two features that have not received as much publicity but were very pleasant surprises (I know, I never Read The Fine Manual) were the inclusion of the A2DP profile in the Bluetooth stack, and TextEdit’s ability to read OpenOffice .odt files.
Nice touch. As usual with Apple, new functionality is rolled out in a seamless, intuitive and non-intrusive way.

Noticed you set up some modem scripts from Ross Barkman, and then later upgraded to Leopard. Did you find that the modem scripts no longer work?
Hi Larry. I’m writing this note through the phone connection, so Ross’ scripts work fine.
Immediately after installing Leopard, I was unable to connect through the phone and I had to play around a bit to get things right with the phone connection. I’m not sure it would work for you the same, but what I did was the following:
Overall, I don’t know how I fixed it… Hope this helps. Let me know if you have success. BTW - my preferred connection is through the USB cable, not BT. It charges the phone and connects me at the same time
