You're looking for the local device class definition in /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf. It's a bitfield. Googleing for hcid.conf gives me one of my favourite documentation sites, die.net: http://linux.die.net/man/5/hcid.conf About halfway down you can see what the device class is composed of and what each bit means. > I can search the bt devices with the phone and computer is listed there > but apparently i had to run some daemon to link the bluetooth and rfcomm > devices together. According my experiences so far this application is not > rfcomm:-( I imagine you want to use rfcomm; it has a 'listen' command that would allow you to attach your own utility (which spits NMEA sentences out to stdout) to an rfcomm channel. You may also have to configure an SDP record to "advertise" the rfcomm port to the phone you're testing with. "sdptool add" would probably be what you want here. I'm not an expert either, but us newbies have to stick together and pull ourselves out of this muck. :-) -A. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Register now and save $200.
