See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetooth#Uses At my last job, I had an Aircable "dongle", similar to the http://www.aircable.net/host-xr2.html (but in a box more like the Aircable Industrial XR), and it was really astonishing how many bluetooth devices it could see (> 20), when the builtin BT adapter saw 2 or three. So it really depends on the hardware. -- Stefan Seyfried "Any ideas, John?"
