Sorry for this late answer and thank you for that hint; but I haven't 
tried it yet - will do this tomorrow.

To your question:
There are some special things I want to do using the pand-command 
(because it worked well the last years with that):
1.) Using the "iperf" command to display & compare the data rate of a) a 
bluetooth1.0-Dongle and b) a bluetooth3.0-Dongle
2.) Using the "iperf" command between two bluetooth-devices and at the 
same time also using the "iperf"-command between two WLAN-devices (2 
PC's: at each PC one bluetooth-device & one WLAN-Stick) -> With a 
sniffing tool I want to check the AFH of Bluetooth.
3.) Send a "big" (media-)file to show how Bluetooth3.0 uses the "WLAN"-mode.

Is all this possible without pand-connection? If yes - how?

Reagrds,
Steffen
