Subject: [Bluez-users] New bluetooth device. Now what?

OK, I've got the kernel stuff working to my USB dongle. It is a D-Link
DBT-120, and up to that point it all is OK.
Now I want to connect to a device. It is an Earthmate Blue Logger GPS (quite a
nice little yellow box!). My assumption is that eventually I want the
equivalent of a "serial" type connection that a program similar to "minicom"
can talk to.
I've entered a few commands, and I'm a little frustrated. How do I get
something like this to work?
Some commands that DO work are:
[bluetooth]$ hcitool inq
Inquiring ...
00:90:4B:2A:9D:9D clock offset: 0x219e class: 0x001f00
[bluetooth]$ hcitool scan
Scanning ...
00:90:4B:2A:9D:9D Earthmate Blue Logger GPS
Some that DON'T are:
[bluetooth]$ rfcomm show rfcomm0
Get info failed: No such device
[bluetooth]$ rfcomm bind rfcomm0
Can't create device: Operation not permitted
I think I have the configuration file OK, but I'm not exactly sure.
Do I need to have some configuration file setup? The documentation isn't very
clear here (as I can see). Do I access this with RFCOMM?? How do I connect to
the device with 'minicom'?? Do I need to setup some device files??
I have half working, but not a full connection. It is almost there, but not
quite.
Help.....
