Yes, sorry. Of course it must depend on ACL traffic not RFCOMM. I
suspect the easiest way to do it is to advertise an ioctl for this
feature. I'm not quite sure what the interface should be, but I'm sure
you can think of something.

We're getting ahead of ourselves though. We need confirmation from Peter
that sniff helps the problem. If it doesn't we're wasting our time
(unless you think the feature is useful for other applications).
