Thanks, but I only mentioned the T610 to demonstrate that all Bluetooth
devices are having an access issue with the Microsoft stack. Not having paid
any royalties to Widcomm (or their new owner) makes it a triffle dodgy in
the coporate sense.

I'm going to junk the MS dongle and get a TDK one which uses the Widcomm
drivers, same as my Laptop PCMCIA card and that will make the problem go
away.
