+ A little guide to HotSync your Palm OS device via bluetooth. This not
+ network HotSync but a direct HotSync.
+
+ You are supposed to know how to bind and permanentely authorize
+ the bluetooth device to connect to your pc.
+
+
+Configure your connection
+=========================
+
+ Go in Preferences/Connection and add a connection with the
+ following parameters:
+
+ Connect to: PC
+ Via: Bluetooth
+ Device: discover and bind your pc here
+
+
+ Then, in the HotSync application, select the Local mode
+ and choice the connection you have just created.
+
+
+On your host
+============
+
+ Add HotSync to the list of supporte services
+ on your host pc:
+
+ sdptool add HOTSYNC
+
+ By default, sdptool uses channel 22 when registering the
+ HotSync service. You can check it with:
+
+ sdptool browse local
+
+ Service Name: PalmOS HotSync
+ Service RecHandle: 0x10004
+ Service Class ID List:
+ UUID 128: d80cf9ea-134c-11d5-83ce-0030657c543c
+ Protocol Descriptor List:
+ "L2CAP" (0x0100)
+ "RFCOMM" (0x0003)
+ Channel: 22
+
+ You can now tell rfcomm to listen on channel 22 and launch
+ ColdSync when the device connects:
+
+ rfcomm listen 0 22 coldsync -m info --device {}
+
+ Where 0 is the refcomm device, 22 the channel and the {} will be
+ filled by the appropriate device name, like /dev/rfcomm0 .
+
+ Be sure to have appropriate permissions on that device. Adding your
+ user to the dialout group will work on most Linux distributions.
+
+ On your device, launch HotSync in "Local" mode and select
+ the connection you have created
+
