Hello
I have an application that connects to a bluetooth GPS device which works
fine on PDA2k. But I can't get it to work on ppc 2003 or Jam. I even tried
an application made by the GPS device manufacturer and got the same result.
Any idea what I need to do to connect to a bluetooth device on ppc 2003 and
Jam?

thank you

I presume your software connects to a specific COM port. When you bond the
device it should prompt you to create a COM port as it supports
SerialPortProfile. This will create an outgoing COM port which by default
should be COM5: you'll probably find this differs from the PDA2K which uses
the Broadcomm Bluetooth stack and assigns COM ports slightly differently.

I've tried using COM5 and didn't get any errors, but didn't get any results.
Is there a way to use Broadcomm's software on 2003 ?
