Hi Gene, (didn't we have a similar thread ~half a year ago?)

You can either use the rfcomm utility, see "rfcomm -h", or use the test-serial script from bluez-test (if it is packaged for your distro, otherwise it lives in the bluez source in test/test-serial) which is the preferred method nowadays IIUC and which works for me: seife@strolchi:~> test-serial 00:24:EF:D1:B3:23 Connected /dev/rfcomm0 to 00:24:EF:D1:B3:23 Press CTRL-C to disconnect then, in another terminal, I can send AT commands to my phone via /dev/rfcomm0. Note that the test-serial has a fixed timeout of 1000 seconds and will close the link afterwards, but that should be trivial to hack out of the script. If you want to use the old-fashioned style, I had written some documentation about that in a former life. It's still available through http://en.opensuse.org/Bluetooth/rfcomm (it's not SUSE-specific at all, if anything, you might need to put a call to "rfcomm bind all" into a late-running init script for your distro). Hope this helps and Good Luck :-) seife -- Stefan Seyfried "Any ideas, John?"
