[Bluez-users] device suggestion

I'm a total foreigner here, cause I'm using Window and J2SE, but I need to 
solve a problem concerning bluetooth hardware and I believe you know better 
than anyone what device can solve my problem.
 I need to make a bluetooth return channel for a set top box, and for that 
all I can use is a RS232 port, and the bluetooth stack must be pure Java.
So I'm using JavaBluetooth (http://sourceforge.net/projects/javabluetooth), 
that implements JSR82 trough a serial port or serial port abstraction. The 
problem is that JavaBluetooth needs a device that offers a H4 (UART) HCI 
Transport Specification access. 
As far as I know there are some serial blutooth dongles that implements H4, 
and some PCI cards that offer acess to the HCI layer trough an emulated 
serial port (on Windows). Some USBdongles do it either, but with a 3rd 
partie paid driver, and that won't help.
 So, basically, I want a lis of devices (brands, names) that can be acessed 
trough an H4 HCI layer, specially serial dongles, since as soon as I get 
things running on the PC I will port it to set-tops and cell phones.
 I've posted a similar message in the JavaBluetooth list of course, but the 
developer is too busy with other things, and the most recent discutions on 
the list are dating 2004.
 I think Brainbox BL-510 does the job, but I need more options, and the 
manufacturers always want to push their own protocols and software.
 thanks for any help
