fine. well, at this point i'm starting to suspect treo sdp 
implementation. sdpcontrol(8) and sdptool are two different pieces of 
code. i'm very interested in hcidump output when you use sdptool to 
query treo.

ah, ok. so, you are saying treo *can* connect to your laptop via 
bluetooth and you can browse on treo? or you can connect windows box to 
your laptop via bluetooth and can browse on windows?

another thing about sdp-1.5 - its not integrated with other tools 
(rfcomm_pppd for example) and thus you have to *manually* add sdp 
records into the database (via 'sdptool register'). you also have to run 
service daemon (such as rfcomm_pppd) with the parameters you put into 
the sdp database. for example if you register lan service on rfcomm 
channel 1 then you *must* run rfcomm_pppd on rfcomm channel 1.

in 5.3 and later sdp(8) is integrated with all tools, so all you need to 
do is to run sdp(8) in background and then all tools will register 
service automatically as they start. you do not have to add/delete 
records manually anymore.

good :)
