I'm a total foreigner here, cause I'm using Window and J2SE, but I need to solve a problem concerning bluetooth hardware and I believe you know better than anyone what device can solve my problem.
I need to make a bluetooth return channel for a set top box, and for that
all I can use is a RS232 port, and the bluetooth stack must be pure Java. So I'm using JavaBluetooth (http://sourceforge.net/projects/javabluetooth),
that implements JSR82 trough a serial port or serial port abstraction. The problem is that JavaBluetooth needs a device that offers a H4 (UART) HCI Transport Specification access.
As far as I know there are some serial blutooth dongles that implements H4, and some PCI cards that offer acess to the HCI layer trough an emulated serial port (on Windows). Some USBdongles do it either, but with a 3rd partie paid driver, and that won't help.
So, basically, I want a lis of devices (brands, names) that can be acessed
trough an H4 HCI layer, specially serial dongles, since as soon as I get things running on the PC I will port it to set-tops and cell phones.
I've posted a similar message in the JavaBluetooth list of course, but the
developer is too busy with other things, and the most recent discutions on the list are dating 2004.
I think Brainbox BL-510 does the job, but I need more options, and the
manufacturers always want to push their own protocols and software.
thanks for any help

Thanks Russell, but from the JavaBlutooth list: "The free2move looks like a BT cable replacement solution. These can't be address by a software stack."

And Marcel, sorry for using this list, I coudn't find no other, but I havn't posted a windows question, my doubts are about bluetooth hardware, and platform independent :), only used a bad foreword.
