I can't get that to work. It seems very flaky. Sometimes I get INQUIRY instead of PSCAN. Other times I get nothing. I think the SuSE 10.2 installation may be messed up. I've installed it on two computers and had the same problems. For now I seem to be able to at least make progress by issuing: hciconfig hci0 auth encryt and hciconfig hci0 piscan at least then my PDA can find the device. I then run into another problem with dund, which I'll ask about in a new thread. Thanks for your help, anyway.
