I want this working on my -current laptop but it freezes
during all this and has to be rebooted so I am using on a
5.4-RELEASE machine.  If it matters, I am using an IOgear
bluetooth dongle.  dmesg says:

ubt0: Broadcom CCBT2035BDGP23-1, rev 1.10/0.01, addr 3

Ah, this is a useful hint!

Anyway, nothing comes back in cu.

So I tried a few more things such as re-pairing and
reconnecting with rfcomm_pppd.  The first two times
rfcomm_pppd couldn't connect but on the third try treo
crashed and rebooted!  And now it WORKS!

So I guess I had to reboot treo....  But it sure would be
nice to know what exactly went wrong....  Ah well.

Thanks for your help!
