Ok, got it.. Did not need to send Pin

These are the steps I used to connect to a SerialIO BlueSnapXP. I use this to program Cisco and HP network gear via Console Port.

This works for me.. As always YMMV

I did this on an N810 Diablo

Install minicom --> https://garage.maemo.org/projects/minicom/
Go to http://mulliner.org/nokia770/ -->Install Repository for Diablo
Go to App Manager, install bluez-utils-dist
exit App Manager
Place device in pairing or discovery mode
open X Terminal

$ hcitool scan
Scanning ....
xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx Device listed

~$ rfcomm connect 1 xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx 1
Connected /dev/rfcomm1 to xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx on channel 1
Press Ctl-C for hangup
Open a new X Terminal Window
In X-Terminal Menu, Windows, New Window
minicon -s <----- Only need to do this once.
Serial Port Setup
A: /dev/rfcomm1
E:9600 8N1
Save as dfl <------ To save this config if you wish
Exit
Hit enter a few times and you should get a prompt
next time all you need to do is:
rfcomm connect 1 xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx 1
Open a new Window in X Terminal
minicom
I did not have to edit /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf
I did not have to edit /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf

I hope this helps someone else along the way...
