Newbie needs help to start

Hello,

I'm a new BlueTooth user. I'm working on a nice project [1] which consists 
to turn an astronomic mount into a panoramic head. I hacked the protocol 
between the head and the remote, and made a little serial interface to 
take control from a computer. The protocol is ascii, and the interface 
only consists to adapt levels.

Then, the idea is to plug a BT/serial converter to this interface to drive 
the head from a PDA. So, I bought a AIRcable Serial3 hardware, which is a 
nice product, because it is possible to program it to do higher level 
tasks. But for now, I'm just trying to use it as a simple converter, with 
the default firmeware.

And I need your help to access it from linux/debian. Manuel Naranjo helped 
me a lot, but I still have strange issues. And I would also like to 
understand how Bluetooth is implemented under linux; there seems to have a 
lot of layers, and it is not simple... So, if someone could summarize all 
this for me...

I also need to know how to use the serial protocol to access the Serial3 
hardware as any other serial port. I tired to use rfcomm, but, again, I'm 
not sure to clearly undertand whait it is supposed to do.

Last thing: I'm a python developper, so I like very much all python 
examples on Bluez wiki ;o)

Thank you very much for you help.

There is a link to the french wiki, which is more up-to-date. I didn't take 
the time to translate it...
