John,
I notice it most when listing the contents of a directory. When I
transfer a file it is slightly slower but not much. I think New-Dos has
ways around the delay by checking to see if the number of bytes have
been received but I'm not 100% certain of that.

Thanks Willard,
I have the Bluetooth working with the RAM versions of TS-DOS that
I tweaked to have a longer delay. While they do work, it's
definitely slower that just using a wire. The Bluetooth adapter I
have is larger than the cable to the the phone and requires a 5v
power supply. The BCR port has 5v but I have not created the
adapter yet. Unless I were a distance away from the phone, it's
hard to find the advantage over the serial cable.

Since Bluetooth requires a custom version of TS-DOS anyway it would be
interesting to create protocol extensions that would allow larger
packet sizes. That would mean less handshake overhead per packet.
Other than that I don't know how the "timeout" issue is being overcome.
Basically I'm saying there is no good reason for bluetooth to be slow.
