Is this for using a generic bluetooth device attached to RS232 or is this to emulate an serial connetion over BT? So far the BT devices I've seen with uart interfaces are not gerneric ones and support only the serial connection over BT in a modemstyle fashion, which doesn't need special OS support anyway. I've ordered two of those devices yesterday and it would be great if I can connect them with FreeBSD via an USB-BT adapter. -- B.Walter http://www.bwct.de http://www.fizon.de bernd_at_bwct.de info_at_bwct.de support_at_fizon.deReceived on Wed Jun 13 2007 - 19:10:01 UTC
