Admin,

What you are pointing out is different than what the OP was talking about - yours is a Bluetooth adapter for a computer. The original link was for a device-level (RS-232) bluetooth adapter, basically like a BlueSMiRF, but with an RS-232 interface instead of TTL...

I wasn't sure if Trumpkin wanted it for the PC end or not . . . just in case ;D
