I'm a little confused (what else is new ;-)

I thought the original point of mComm was that it could run headless and did 
not require any client other than TELCOM on the M100. Is that a different/older 
version, Windows vs. Android, or???

The most recent version 1.41, supports serial and Bluetooth connections. I have 
not tested it with BlueM. I tested with an off the shelf Bluetooth to rs232 
device. The problem is with TS-DOS. There is too much delay with a Bluetooth 
connection and so TS-DOS times out.

I ended up tweaking a RAM version of TS-DOS and adding delays to it. On my 200 
it worked perfectly but definitely slower than a wired connection. I carried 
those changes over to the ROM versions of TS-DOS that are in the members file 
area under my name. They have not been tested.

Steve did some limited testing with BlueM but I don't think he had satisfactory 
results. Perhaps he will comment.

To try it, you have to first create a Bluetooth link between your phone and the 
Bluetooth device. Then start mComm. The little serial cable icon is a button. 
If you press it, mComm will switch to Bluetooth mode and the icon becomes a 
Bluetooth symbol. Then when you press the "Start TPDD service" button, it will 
ask you which Bluetooth connection you want to use.

One thing I did notice is that TS-DOS needs to be running before you start the 
Bluetooth connection or it errors out for some reason. There is a lot of 
testing and debugging to be done on the Bluetooth side.

Am I mistaken, or was there a version of mcomm designed to work with the BlueM 
bluetooth serial adapter?
