Sorry, I do not have it here just now. Should be able to get it in a
few days.

I agree that pcmcia card is problematic. No, I do not have any other
usb dongles, but...

billionton.n6230: 10KB/sec (ppp over rfcomm)
MSI..n6230: 25KB/sec (ppp over rfcomm)
MSI..billionton: 10KB/sec (bnetp)

...pretty much tells the story. I could do some obex transfers against
k700 to test it a bit more.

Fortunately edge has limit of 25KB/sec or something like that, and
bluetooth has 100KB/sec limit, so it is fast enough even with some
added overhead.
