    Bluetooth headset goes to sleep

    I bought a Plantronics 510s bluetooth headset. It comes with a dongle. Great headset. When I plug in the dongle, it's smart enough to take over audio. (Which could be annoying to some.) Genius!

    Now I've paired it with my Thinkpad t61p (Vista Business) and it's less fun. The main problem is that the headset (or, at least, its connection with the computer) goes to sleep after a few seconds, which makes VOIP sort of unpleasant. I have to talk to wake it up, then talk to be heard.

    Any ideas how I can make this thing stay "on" permanently, or at least increase the delay time?
