[Coco] Bluetooth modem

[Stephen Adolph]

Hi,

I've been experimenting heavily on bluetooth and the M100.
The M100 does not make use of hardware flow control.  As a result,
bluetooth as implemented here does not work well (unlike what the
auction states).

You really have to have flow control working, because it is very easy,
even with simple text interactions, to overflow the buffers on the
M100.

So, the price is right, but buyer beware...Plus the serial port is now
gone, making this M100 useless for normal serial.

When better software is available, this sort of built in bluetooth works well.

regards,
Steve
