To get the Bluetooth address of a device, do "hcitool scan". This will take about a half a minute. The output has two columns. The first column is the address of a visible device and the second column is it's current name. Manufacturers usually set the initial Bluetooth name of a device to its product name and model number so that it can be spotted easily. The device needs to be visible in order for the scan to find it. Most devices are, by default, invisible. What activating the "set bluetooth pairable" menu item on the BC640 does is make it temporarily visible (like maybe for a minute or so). In other wrods, activate that menu item just before pressing enter to initiate the scan. -- Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | The Bible is the very Word of God.
