I've just begun reading - primarily Wikipedia articles and some links

much more than "Howto?".
The primary difference between Bluetooth and WiFi ...
Bluetooth option has been eliminated as I've discovered a 2nd machine in
my collection does not have it.
The main challenge that I see in your setup is connecting the network
to the outside world. [snip]
That is a non-issue as I connect to the internet via a T-Mobile Hotspot
(a USB device) used as a "cell modem). If I want internet on one of my
secondary machines (an atypical case) I'll just plug it into that machine.
Reading questions that may help:
How to connect two hosts using Bluetooth that does not require them to
be in a master-slave relationship?
Moot as Bluetooth is no longer an option.
How to connect one WiFi interface to multiple networks? (If you find
out, please post the answer here. xD )
That was not in my plans as the combination of WiFi AND being internet
connected I consider a NO-NO for my primary machine. But some
diagnostics which have been suggested would best be done on machines
with nothing but a minimal Debian install. I've two used laptops
purchased specifically for experimentation. We'll see what develops.
Encryption on Bluetooth?
How to route L3 traffic (IP network) over Bluetooth? (This question
assumes you *want* to spread an Intranet over your machines.)
Not sure how to answer. What I envision would be any two machines
communicating as peers.
What application-level interfaces will you use to actually *use* the
network? (FTP? Web? 9P2000? NFS? Gopher? gRPC? Whatever Bluetooth uses?)
I don't know. All I know at this point is I want to avoid any fixed
client/server or master/slave relationship.
