Thanks. I think that d-link said that mine was com 5. I know there was something about com 4 and then com 5 for file transfer. I also assumed that when setting up the internet connection that I would set it up to use bluetooth. I also heard from somewhere on this list that you had to give comports to everything that the bluetooth properties list as a service. I thought it would be neat to browse the web with bluetooth or exchange files with my computer. Jonathan also mentioned with 7.0 that one could use the bn as a terminal with bluetooth and use the bn as a speech synthesizer via bluetooth. I want to get everything working properly so I am ready when 7.0 comes out.
