You sure can.

You can of course use the code provided by Manuel too but then your  
code won't work without rfcomm/bluetooth. The nice thing is that if  
you keep it generic you can test your application using any old  
serial connection. Or use a pipe in the filesystem etc..

Caveat: I can't get mgetty to work by feeding it /dev/rfcommX though : 
( It should work, must be one of those things ;)
