I would naively expect it to be an normal looking serial device. Open it, read and write strings. Use stty or ioctl or termios to set the speed if relevant. Otherwise, more background info needed. Disclaimer: I've used serial devices including GSM modems but haven't done anything technical with Bluetooth. But if it presents as a character device (ls will tell you that) then it should just let you open it and do I/O with read/write. What's your implementation language? -- Cameron Simpson <[email protected]> The nice thing about standards is that you have so many to choose from; furthermore, if you do not like any of them, you can just wait for next year's model. - Andrew S.
