Hi,

Apologies - I'll try and be more specific this time around. I've repeated my
queries, adding specific platform details.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Sean

Our first goal is to create a release that works for Windows XP SP2, as we
need a Windows version of the product initially, and we believe this platform
has the most up to date support for Bluetooth (in terms of low level API
cpontrol over the stack)?

So:

1. On Windows XP SP2, is there any way we can open an L2CAP Socket using the
Microsoft
Bluetooth Stack? If not using the Winsock API, is the interface exposed as,
e.g., a COM object?

2. With regard to the different platforms (Windows 2000, XP, CE and
Smartphone) - are there any similarities in temrs of Bluetooth Stack APIs, or
should we treat each playform as separate?

3. For Windowns 200 specifically, is there likely to be a port to W2K of the
Microsoft Bluetooth Stack?

4. Is the Windows XP SP2 Bluetooth stack an in-house product, or OEM'd from
elsewhere (we ask this as our customers will be seeking to create embedded
products with a derivative version of our product, so this may ease their
migration path)
