Yes, I would suggest using the OBEX protocol. You could make a client program that tries to establish connections with servers it meets on its way. It will then try to establish connection whenever it meets a device that supports OBEX. OBEX can run over different transports, so you could use TCP/IP as well for a wired connection, or wait for a BT impl. Anyway, OBEX will make sure your application is not to tied to the transport technology used. -- Dag -- / Dag Brattli | The Linux-IrDA Project / // University of Tromsoe, Norway | Infrared communication for Linux // /// http://www.cs.uit.no/~dagb | http://www.cs.uit.no/linux-irda/ /// _______________________________________________ Linux-IrDA mailing list - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www4.pasta.cs.UiT.No/mailman/listinfo/linux-irda
