great! thanks for your help. btw, rfcomm_sppd(1) _should_ properly 
restore terminal settings if it was killed with SIGTERM (-15). if you 
kill it with SIGKILL (-9) then you will mess your terminal settings.

i'm pretty sure 'bt-grps' label is incomplete. at the very least you 
need 'enable force-scripts' otherwise ppp(8) will not execute chat script.

btw, there is a working example in rfcomm_pppd(8) man page

<quote>

rfcomm-dialup:
  # This is IMPORTANT option
  enable force-scripts

  # You might want to change these
  set authname
  set authkey
  set phone "*99***1#"

  # You might want to adjust dial string as well
  set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \
            \"\" AT OK-AT-OK ATE1Q0 OK \\dATD\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT"
  set login
  set timeout 30
  enable dns
  resolv rewrite

  set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0
  add default HISADDR

also some folks prefers to configure access point name, etc. in 'set 
dial', but i assume you have configured it on the phone.

i'm not sure about this. also you have 'set speed' in every label. 
having it only in 'default' should be enough.

no, i'm pretty sure ppp(8) does the right thing. in fact 'set device 
!rfcomm_sppd' worked even before my patch.

thanks,
