Hi. I'm not a computer scientist or experienced programmer, but I'm trying to learn, so bear with me if this is a stupid question. If I use the dbus-bluetooth method instead of rfcomm, can I put a tty on it?

I don't even know if I asked that right, so let me give a little detail about what I'm trying to do. I'm taking a computer science class, and I work full time and I have a 3 year old daughter, so I don't have a whole lot of time to sit and work on my programming homework (had 2 semesters of c++ as the as a prerequisite to this class, but that was 3 years ago, so I'm quite rusty). I've installed g++ on my IT so I can work on my homework anywhere when I have spare time, but it would be a whole lot easier if when I'm at a full-sized computer, I could use the big screen and keyboard to access the IT. When there's wifi available, no problem, I can use ssh, but where I work there's no wifi. I DO have a BT adapter on my work PC, so I was hoping to set up a BT serial link and log in to my n810 that way.

But my lack of knowledge is preventing me from doing this, although I suspect it's fairly simple. I'm not asking anyone to solve my problem for me; this is a low priority, and it should be a good learning experience if I can figure it out myself, but right now I'm not sure which way to go. I know that if I have a regular /dev/rfcomm0, I can have getty, or whatever Diablo uses, put a console there, but with the dbus method I'm not sure what I'd do or where to begin.

Thanks
