Hi Marcel,

Hm, so i got this wrong. But if i connect two different devices with rfcomm,
"hcitool con" gives me two lines that look like
"< ACL 00:0A:D9:37:11:29 handle 41 state 1 lm MASTER". Thats what i meant
talking about "master connections". If i start another rfcomm connect (the
third one)i get "Device or resource busy" and i assumed thats because the
chip i use (CSR, hci rev 16.4) can only handle two master connections. I
found this info, that a 16.x CSR can make 7 Connections, while 2 of them can
be Master on some web page that i remember to be on your server,
unfortunatelly i cant find it anymore.

Im just wondering what a line ending with MASTER from hcitool con actualy
means. IMHO it should mean that this is a peer is a slave in a piconet with
me as the master. But why does rfcomm than say that "Device or resource
busy" when i try to connect a third slave witch should be possible?

Greetings

Andy
