If the Bluetooth service needs authentication, than a pairing is requires. Bluetooth service?

I call RFCOMM and L2CAP "channels" a service (because there is a bit more than the channel itself; the SDP record etc, etc.)

...

Since Mac OS X v10.4.3 since can be done programmatically without the Apple Bluetooth Assistant. How?

It is called "Inquiry" - just do a search on the Mac OS X v10.4 headers you are using.

I have never bothered to check the services, because I know my particular device only does one thing.

Are you using UUIDs or channel IDs? If you use UUIDs how do you know the RFCOMM channel ID? This information has to come from the SDP! If you are using channel IDs directly, make sure the service is on that ID. I recommend to look up all returned error codes once again. Perhaps you always connect to a specific RFCOMM channel without knowing it. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
