Thank you for the information. Together with the post of Peter 
Stephenson (thank you, Peter), it seems that this problem cannot be 
circumvented as I want to connect to different devices (as I understand, 
various ACL connections; is this right?). I will have to live with it. :-(

I am using SuSE 9.1 with the latest updates from SuSE: kernel 
2.6.5-7.147-default, bluez-libs 2.5-43 and bluez-utils 2.4-65. I know 
they are old, so it could perfectly be a problem with them; therefore I 
am planning an upgrade, but I am not quite sure whether I will be able 
to use the latest BlueZ upgrades. The problem with the lost established 
connections does not happen always, so I still have to look exactly why 
this happens. In any case, besides that, everything else works as 
expected. The only thing I am missing is a tool like "netstat" for 
Internet an Unix sockets. "lsof" does not give any information either. 
Is there anything of the like for BlueZ?

In any, case, thanks for the help.

Pedro
