I found this image of the BlueSMiRF hooked up:

In admin's BT tutorial he doesn't mention connecting CTS and RTS.

What good does this do? it may help me solve a difficulty i've been having with something.

RTS and CTS are used for "flow control".

Read the data sheet of the BlueSMiRF device, the configuration for the CTS and RTS connection is discussed there:

i forgot to mention i had the robots uart with hyperterminal working with the bluesmirf without connecting the rts and cts together. what are the differences between connecting it and not connecting it?

will the "handshake" process be faster with it connected?
