Hello, I'm also trying to set up a serial port for bluetooth communication. I'm working with an n800 running Diablo.

I've purchased a BlueSMirf modem and I'm attempting to setup a serial connection on a project I've been working on that is described in this post.

In this post in the same thread jethro.itt recommended I use rfcomm in order to replace my hardwired serial connection with a bt connection.

So I installed bluez-utils, bluez-utils-dist, and bluez-utils-test. Not sure if I really needed all of them, but I assume it won't hurt (it won't, right?).

I can bring up rfcomm in xterm, and using hcitool scan gives me the bt address of the modem (which is successfully paired with my n800).

If I try Xterm tells me So my questions are: 1) Is rfcomm the best tool to do what I'm trying to do. Some of the discussion in this thread lead me to believe that there might be other, better programs 2) Am I using the rfcomm connect command correctly 3) What's the deal with the missing config file?

Any help you NIT gurus could provide would be much appreciated!
