I try to send data from my iPAQ to my PC via a Serial Port
Adapter. First I have established a connection between the
devices with the Bluetooth Manager on the iPAQ.
Then I open a serial conncetion from my application that
seems to succeed, but when I try to send data to the
outbound port it fails.
Do I have to use Widcomms or BTAccess API in order to be
able to send/receive data?

Thanks,
Liza

What COM port are you trying to send on? iPAQ's default to either COM8 or
COM6, depending at which one you have.
I have successfully transferred data to a bluetooth printer using COM8 on
the 5400 and 5500 series and COM6 on the 4100 series. You don't need to use
the widcomm or btaccess API's unless you want to bypass the bluetooth
manager.

I was trying to send/recieve on port 5 and I succeeded
when I used port 8 on my iPAQ H5550.
