I have Nokia 6680, which I would like to be able to connect to my laptop in few different ways. I have Broadcom Bluetooth 2.0 USB device build in. Having installed the Widcomm drivers v 5.0.1.801 I need to have two local serial ports exposed to my cell phone at the same time. COM4 at the moment I am using for a little program called gnubox (http://gnubox.dnsalias.org/gnubox/), which makes my Nokia to connect to my laptop over communication cable between two computers. However I need to use another program called Remote s60 (www.mobileways.de), which can work on any available serial port, which program I use for demo purposes. So far so good, but as soon as I install the second serial port my gnubox program starts giving my connection errors. If I remove the second serial port and reboot my laptop it would work again, but I cannot use the two programs at the same time. All this works just fine with the native drivers from WinXP SP2, but as you know they do not support audio profile and have some other disadvantages too. So the question is how can I get more than one serial port available and working correctly at the same time. Can I do something to fix it or is this a problem or a limitation in the Widcomm Bluetooth drivers. All the functionality like dial up, networking, audio works fine.
