I am able to sync my Palm T via bluetooth, but the way I do it is not by setting 
up a serial connection. Instead, I set up a PAN connection (giving my palm pilot 
a local ip address and my computer another) and then do a NETWORK hotsync (vs 
serial over bluetooth) using the IP address of my computer. I tell Jpilot 
(pilot-link) to listen to "net:all" (or is it "net:any"....)...

I did this because I read (somewhere) that a plain serial over bluetooth 
wouldn't work for some odd reason...
