You can use a PCMCIA Card (PC Card) bluetooth for best results, or a USB
Bluetooth device, without replacing the modem.  The range of bluetooth can
be as short as 15 feet or as long as 100 feet with those devices. There are
many you can find on NewEgg or Outpost, so I expect your will find as many
in whatever country you are in.

I have no trouble with my X31. I used the install disk that came with the
device.
