I have got the BlueZ stuff running nicely, and I can use the rfcomm tools to connect a serial port over bluetooth and stuff, but I can't figure out how I would do the following.

I have a serial GPS connected to linuxbox on /dev/ttyS0 which has a bluetooth adapter.
I would like to listen for bluetooth serial connections, and when they connect, pipe the output to it. In most instances the connecting device will be a bluetooth iPAQ.

I can't figure out how I can do this from existing tools - is it possible?

sounds like you have to write a small RFCOMM server program for doing this. Look at rctest and maybe dund for example code.
