This is good news. Do you have a module or DB9 dongle you can recommend?

More good news... where is this project?

BTW greetings from JavaOne. It's 23:35 here and the last round of BOFs just 
ended. This one was on using BT for multiplayer MIDP games on BT-enabled 
cellphones. I'm not interested in the games but in the BT.

The BOFers (from Nokia) recommend the book
Bluetooth application programming with the Java APIs by Kumar et al, here 
is an Amazon link:

There are also some cool Nokia GSM modules here, intended for OEM use. I'll 
go find out about those tomorrow. Was speaking at two BOFs here, and am in 
the Sun JDDAC booth, here are some details:

If I learn anything about BT or GSM modules I'll update you.

Regards

Bruce
