I was able to use the FreeBSD Handbook chapter on Bluetooth to do stuff like successfully pair my phone and my laptop. I was able to search for nap and opush with sdpcontrol and see a screen or so each of output but I didn't quite see what to do next. The chapter talks about searching and browsing services, and I can run the commands and get output, but it doesn't quite make enough sense for me to move forward. If you can document what you did to make it work, what commands and configuration files and all, that'd be really really helpful to those of us who aren't as familiar with Bluetooth as you guys and just want to tether our laptops. Thanks! Jack.
