Yes ! That's it ! But Widcomm drivers do not work this way.

No those from Com1 (http://www.com1.fr)

BTW, Widcomm documentation is very very good !

Well, it looks like you'll have to code the usb to H4 driver yourself ...

But the Com One drivers ARE Widcomm drivers. So where is the difference?

Anyway I tried to install the Com One drivers by outcommenting the
"ExcludeFromSelect" in the .inf file. As a result, the driver
installation doesn't recognize the fake, but when I try to start the
Bluetooth Software it says "Your Bluetooth license does not include use
with this Bluetooth device". After clickeng "Ok" it asks for a license
file. The license file from my original drivers does not work (version
differs?). So how can I do it?

Kind regards
Stefan
