Pass in the device address you are interested in, and it will return
you a device to use. As you have discovered, the easier way to do this
by using the UI elements available from Cocoa do not work with Carbon.
Without access to the inquiry functions, you really cannot cook your
own UI either. We are looking at some things in this area.

Paired devices are system-wide, so any device paired in the Prefs will
be paired for your application as well.

There is currently not an API for SCO connections in the stack, so you
will run into a rather large and hard wall here. This is something we
are looking at for a future release. Its priority depends largely on
the demand for SCO links. I assume I should add you to the list of
requests.
