Hi Bert,
About a year ago I bought a packaged RS-232 to Bluetooth adaptor on ebay (about 1/20 the cost of an apparently identical device from a professional solution provider). Looks just a 9 way "D" plug and shell with an antenna were the cable normally goes.  Plugged it into the front of my T-Bolt and my laptop's exsiting Bluetooth found it as a serial port and it worked fine.

P.S Most iPaq's have Bluetooth, anyone up for an enhancement to Thunderhead to get it to network?

Searching on our favorite auction site for a not time or frequency related  
project I ran across a Bluetooth adapter 190527209620 and 190508188703. 
After  checking with some of you, smarter than me, I am convinced this module 
will work  as a Tbolt interface, eliminating that pesky cable and having to 
unplug it  before powering up the PC. All this for less than $ 8 !
I did buy some of the modules in the hope that some one will rise to the  
occasion and develop a solution.
