I'd like to get my palm t5 to sync (using the 'hotsync' in the palm) over bluetooth, instead of serial cable, or even usb, using jpilot (or pilot-xfer which jpilot uses I believe). pilot-xfer can use a serial port (/dev/something) or network (net:any for ip). I was thinking that since my palm supports syncing over bluetooth (uses it like a serial port), I should be able to make my FreeBSD box connect the bluetooth to a pseudo tty device, which I could then have pilot-xfer use. Does this seem reasonable?
