Hi
Yes I'm using a rs232 dongle. I've got it setup using AT commands to
make it auto accept connections. So now the problem I'm facing is
setting up the USB dongle on the linux pc. I'm not really sure how to go
about doing it. Why use rfcomm instead of hciattach to attach the
bluetooth to ttys0 ?

In fact I'm totally new to bluetooth and linux, so I'm rather lost now.

I don't know when you would use hciattach, but with rfcomm you can
create a connection to a serial device (e.g. /dev/rfcomm0, not /dev/ttyS0).
E.g.
rfcomm bind 0 11:22:33:44:55:66 7
This will create a /dev/rfcomm0 which you can use just like your real
serial port /dev/ttyS0 (e.g. with minicom). See "man rfcomm" for details.
Use "sdptool browse 11:22:33:44:55:66" (of course with the BT address of
your device) to find the channel number of the Serial Port service of
your device (that's the "7" in the rfcomm bind example above).
Also have a look at /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf.
