hi,

i tried for quite a while to get arduino bt talking to my ubuntu dapper 
drake / gnome. but at the end my knowledge about linux was obviously not 
enough. i also think that it should be no problem to get it working,
but how?! was the big question for me.
it might be that other distros would work better for that in a generic
way. anyway i know that my bt works, i can transfer files to other
bt hosts etc, but i was not able to get a working rfcomm to bt arduino.
i would be happy if somebody could work it out. part of my quest is
documented in the arduino forum.

cheers
