There you go. That's only a very uninteresting, point to point hardcoded
serial adapter only version of BT.

It's sad to hear that your findings support mine. I'm going on a limb to say
that if this nonsense keeps up that BT is dead, at least for anyone who
isn't a billion-unit company.

I don't own a single BT device. Hmmm, I wonder why? Maybe it's that there is
nothing useful to do with it?
