The site is quite messy, and I get annoyed easily by that kind of 
website design, so it took a few days worth of tries to get to the docs :P

Now I have the relevant PDF, I'll try to make something worth of it.

I don't like the idea too much either, the problem is that most mobile 
phones expose a mlot of services, most marked as RFCOMM, some of which 
are not working in any way or are just used for some proprietary 
protocoll, so the code discards that kind of crap.

For example it is discarding:

"Nokia PC Suite"
"Bluetooth Serial Port"
"m-Router Connectivity"

all of which, if present, are marked as rfcomm, but don't take at 
commands(which the software uses to talk to the phone).

I think some better way exists, but I thought it would be easier to 
clone the existing logic and then refine it, than reinvent it right 
away. I'd also like to ha ve feedback from the gnokii developer, if my 
code is ok he could include it in his project too.

Yes, the original code is using strstr() to check them.
