Making my laptop behave like a phone over bluetooth

I've noticed that mobile phones have a much easier time talking to each other than to most laptops/PCs. Is there any software out there that can make a PC behave like a mobile phone? For some reason I'm expecting mostly open-source, but anything is welcome.

Searching for an obscure 80's comic book.

Searching for an obscure 80's comic book. When I was a kid, one of my friends showed me a comic book that seemed really scary at the time. It wasn't a major character (Batman, Superman), so I have no idea what comic it was. I was kind of a snob back then and thought comics were beneath me. I've finally wised up and started reading comics as an adult. Now I'm curious to see what I missed out on when I was 12.

I can't remember the names of any characters. What I do remember of the plot is this: A group is exploring a strange, jungle like planet. One of the group, a woman, is replaced by a mimic - body snatcher type creature. The mimic leaves the planet with the group, while the woman is left behind. I think the mimic looks something like a long-limbed horse in its native form.

Any ideas?
