Hello, One "weird experience" : as I have bought a DGT board only to connect it to my pocket pc, I also have bought a Bluetooth-Serial converter in order to connect the board to pocket pc with bluetooth and no serial interfaces. I have bought this device : http://www.air2u.com.tw/htm/p_rs232_bcr01.htm it works... but : 1) it does not seem possible to configure its speed through bluetooth, so it is a pain when I want to switch it from 57600 bauds to 9600 bauds 2) there must be a missing signal somewhere as the DGT Board does not recognize that it is connected : I have to connect first the DGT board to a real serial interface and start the DGT driver. Then I can connect the DGT board to the Bluetooth converter and it works fine. 3) it is not recognizd by my Dell D600 laptop. On the other hand, my pocket pc has no problem to discover the virtual rs-232 port. I don't know for other pc/ppc. There are other BT-RS232 converters but I haven't tried them. alain
