Now I know how it works :). Im sorry for my not clear question.
Everytime I started "rfcomm connect" from my ipaq to establish a
connection to my notebook -> the ppp daemon on my notebook was starting
and using the rfcomm device. So I was not able to use minicom for the
rfcomm device. My question obtained how I can configure or choose the
program that should be started on my client (in this case notebook =
client).

But I learned that I can do "rfcomm bind" and after that I can use the
device with any program I want. If so I had to establish a serial
bluetooth  connection between the ipaq and a linux client and after that
I have to run a little java program to test javax.com.  And it works
perfectly :). Marcel thx a lot for your clear and excellent
documentation at

Have a nice time and a nice weekend.

Kind regards,
