Hello, I'm new to bluetooth (read: I know almost nothing about it), so I have a few questions. First, is there a recommended bluetooth USB dongle that's guaranteed to work with FreeBSD (7-stable) and that's not too expensive? I've seen a lot of really cheap and small dongles recently at online shops, but I assume not all of them work fine, right? Second, I would like to use this software (perl script): http://lukas.internet-freaks.net/nxtmanager.php (Sorry, the page is in German, but the .tar.gz download at the bottom of the page contains an English README.) As far as I can tell, the software requires libbluetooth2 and the CPAN module Net::Bluetooth. I searched the ports, but they're not there. I assume those don't work with FreeBSD, right? Any idea whether porting them would be feasible? Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co. KG, Marktplatz 29, 85567 Grafing b. M.

Perl gives 43 and Python gives "42 monkeys1 snake", when the answer is clearly "41 monkeys and 1 fat snake". -- Jim Fulton
