So i decided to walk in a store and buy some epox bluetooth stick. There was one for 20m and one for 100m, and all two works fine under FreeBSD 5.2 and 5.2.1. The 100m Epox stick is the EPOX BT-DG02A. > It will also (inevitably) have to work with a variety of Windows machines > and will mostly be used for sync/modem/file exchange with a Sony-Ericsson > T630 phone.

I use obex push for filetransfer, and serial lines to many mobilephones, the only stupid thing is the configuration and setup of the stick. The obexapp and sdp suites are somewhat crappy (sometimes the ports dont compile) or rapidly changes (im sure there was sdpd in /usr/src, but with 5.2.1 its gone...) Greetings Enrico
