Hello,

Since bluez-utils v3.10, the new Serial API is included, and the 
previous RFCOMM API has been removed. The first semms to functionnaly 
replace the latter.

If I'm right, some calls previously done in the RFCOMM hierarchy now 
have to be done in the Serial one. For some of them, changes look like this:

RFCOMM: String Connect(String address, String service);
Serial: String ConnectService(String address, String pattern);

RFCOMM: String ConnectByChannel(String address, byte channel);
Serial: No equivalent so far

RFCOMM: void Disconnect(String device);
Serial: void DisconnectService(String device);

RFCOMM: void CancelConnect(String address, String service);
Serial: void CancelConnectService(String address, String pattern);

Apart for the missing "ConnectByChannel", it seems looks indeed very 
similar.

But there is somethig different: object path for RFCOMM was 
/org/bluez/{hci0,hci1,...} (eg. one RFCOMM object for each physical 
Adapter). But according to the doc, object path for Serial is 
/org/bluez/serial (eg, IIUC one single Manager).

So, my question: how do I choose which dongle to use to perform the 
connection with the new implementation, in case several are connected to 
the system?

Thanks,
Best Regards.
