I see, so there must be some higher-level protocol. I'm wondering if there's a standard for it.. There's some NMEA 0183 V2.2 Standard mentioned: http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3042535254&category=23381 OK, here it is: http://www.nmea.org/pub/0183/ Interesting :-) > > Is there some free software available? > FreeBSD comes with Bluetooth stack - it does support Serial Port Profile. I know that you have been asked this question before, but I have seen no answer. How difficult would that be to have a Bluetooth support in FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE? For example, this Serial Port Profile only? -- Alexander Pohoyda
