Jim, it sounds like you're using the buggy Microsoft bluetooth stack. If you download the appropriate software, such as Widcomm, from the manufacturer's site, this should work. I have a Belkin bluetooth USB adaptor, and, using the Widcomm software, I can use my BrailleNote mPower as a bluetooth display with JAWS 8 no problem. Hope that helps.

Hey all: I'm trying to use a Bluetooth connection for Braille terminal mode. I'm wondering if anyone who has successfully done this can offer me some tips or advice. I've got the BrailleNote and pc paired and have activated the ActiveSync service. On the pc end, I have established a serial port in the Bluetooth settings and configured JAWS to use this serial port. When I activate Terminal mode on the BrailleNote, I receive the error "Can not open serial port, the operation completed successfully." Of course, nothing from the screen reader is displayed. Any suggestions? Also, I've heard their is a podcast that describes this setup. Any one know where I could snag a copy of this? Thanks.
