Re: [Bluez-users] Emulating a gps receiver

[Ari Moisio <arimo@iki.fi>]

Hello

  Thanks.  Fixed class definition and added SP to service. Rfcomm appears 
to be little old in Debian (3.7), it did not recognize the watch command 
and i had to split the given command for two separate commands but this is 
not a problem.  Sending a nmea log  one line in second with simple script 
worked perfectly:-)
