Thanks. That helps a lot. :) I'm off to get me some dongles. Would you know a 
good reference HOWTO for setting up Bluetooth and those USB devices? I'm on 
Gentoo, and I've yet to read up on that. I don't think I'll be getting a PCMCIA 
device. I've had problems getting even wireless to work on it...

The (yet unofficial) Gnome Bluetooth Subsystem 
(http://usefulinc.com/software/gnome-bluetooth/) actually implements OBEX too.
