Palm TCP over Bluetooth

February 18th, 2004



Setting up pppd to talk to the Bluetooth virtual serial device in Mac OS
X is a breeze, but on Windows? I tried using XP’s
built-in “incoming connection” stuff, but it seemed to conflict mightily
with the software installed with my IOGEAR Bt dongle. Fortunately, I
stumbled on this guide to
setting up Palm TCP over Belkin Bluetooth adapters
, and Belkin and
IOGEAR have licensed the same software stack. Lo and behold, it works!
