Firstly apologies in advance if I ask any stupid questions but I'm a complete newbie to BlueZ and am trying to use it to enable me to dial-up to the net using gprs. Any way to the problem I've got all the way to the point that rfcomm associations happen automatically and then I try to access the device using minicom and it starts fine but doesn't appear to be completing the connection process and then drops. I've included extracts from the /var/log/messages output my config files and an hcidump for your review. Thanks in advance Richard /var/log/messages extract: Aug 17 05:26:52 hellontoast hcid[4513]: HCI dev 0 registered Aug 17 05:26:53 hellontoast hcid[4513]: HCI dev 0 up Aug 17 05:26:53 hellontoast hcid[4513]: Starting security manager 0 ^[[AAug 17 05:28:22 hellontoast hcid[4513]: link_key_request (sba=00:10:60:A4:75:55, dba=00:0E:07:CA:15:AE) Aug 17 05:34:13 hellontoast hcid[4513]: link_key_request (sba=00:10:60:A4:75:55, dba=00:0E:07:CA:15:AE) Aug 17 05:34:23 hellontoast hcid[4513]: link_key_request (sba=00:10:60:A4:75:55, dba=00:0E:07:CA:15:AE) -- Richard
