Enclosed please find a patch to rfcomm_sppd which adds "server mode" code. I have gone back and forth on whether server mode should contain a loop around the existing single-transaction code, but figured I'd send in what I have now and let the maintainer make the policy decision. I don't have an obvious way to test the (original) client-side RFCOMM behavior, so it would probably be a good idea to make sure I haven't broken that, though I tried not to. Also, feel free to let me know if this approach seems wrong in some way. >How-To-Repeat: See directions at http://howto.pilot-link.org/bluesync/ and ask yourself if it wouldn't be better to skip all the dialup networking setup on both the Palm device and the host--and also close that worrisome "-p net:any" door. >Fix: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~davide/howto/hotsync_bluetooth_serial.html >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
