These ports look like (listed in "Terminal" by " ls /dev"): cu.Bluetooth-Modem cu.NM_NokiaN73_DIALUP-1 cu.Nokia3110c-COM1-1 You can check which ports are created for a device in "System Preferences > Bluetooth" select the device, then "Advanced...". For test purposes you can use "ZTerm" to communicate with a device using these ports. Now you can use standard IO functions to operate on the serial ports. Alternatively you can use the Bluetooth Manager functions, there is a sample app in the developer expamples: /Developer/Examples/Bluetooth/RFCOMM_Open_SPP_Example Regards, Ralf On 31.12.2007 7:09 Uhr, "Michael A.

I have an embedded device that communicates via BT SPP and I would like to talk to it using these ports.

Anyone have a clue how to make these work? Instead of writing a custom Bluetooth application, I though it would be much easier and faster to take some test code I have from an embedded platform and make it talk to a standard TTY driver. But I have not quite figured out how to get create, manage, and connect Bluetooth serial ports on Leopard.

Anyone have any experience with this?
