So, I already know there is no way to programatically create a serial
port for a given bluetooth device.... or is there?
For the apple guys,
Reading through the docs online, I was initially hesitant to move my
"legacy" serial port code over to RFCOMM. But, after reading
"Accessing Serial Ports" in "Working with Bluetooth Devices" enough
times, I was convinced it would be a good idea to upgrade my code.
And hey, I could use the proper bluetooth UIs. So, I updated all my
serial code to RFCOMM.
But then...
Did you guys consider the possibility of a developer *needing* access
to the standard POSIX ttys, even *with* proper bluetooth device
handling? For, perhaps, internet connection software? I notice that
the bluetooth setup wizard only creates a serial port if the user
selects "Use this device to connect to the internet with". Did you
guys ever consider, your not the only one thats going to want to do
that?
The application I am updating, is in fact an internet connection
manager! I love the new bluetooth UIs in my application, but now
that I am at the final phase of updating my code, I realized, *crap*,
I STILL NEED a POSIX serial port. I need a modem path to configure
in System Configuration so that my application can actually create an
internet connection!!!!
What do I do now?? There *must* be a way to create it. You guys are
doing it...... Please advise.
Sincerely
Morgan
