that is great. A "server side" is on my todo list, but I haven't written
any line of code so far.

You have to give the right URI. For example for a printer with Bluetooth
address 00:90:02:63:e0:83 it is bluetooth://00900263E083/

For pand you simply start it and let the IP assignment done by the
network hotplugging. For dund this is done by your pppd scripts. So no
IP configuration has to be done in the init scripts, but you have to
start the daemons somewhere. Otherwise you won't get the SDP entries and
so nobody can find your service.
