Bluetooth for Pismo / OS9?

Greetings, I have just acquired a bluetooth gsm cellphone (Ericsson T610) and was wondering if I could hook it up to my pismo. I've seen some USB-Bluetooth adapters but not the information as to whether they have Mac (pref OS9 X) drivers. Also, is there any cheap/free software for driving
