Have you gotten anywhere with this? I have an AirCable adaptor like yours, but have never been able to figure out how to use it, either...

Im sorry, but i havent had the time for it the last weeks(months?),
but i dont plan to throw away my Aircable Adapter, and hopefully i find
a Solution for it.

Im now testing the new Version of xfce4 from this forum, and when its
up and running i try again on the Aircable...

I post it here as soon as i have a working AC

Greetz,
Nico

Nico,
you need to forget that it's a BlueTooth device.
The trick with the AirCable is, that it works like
a serial cable to your mobilephone.
The Zaurus will never know, that there's a
BlueTooth connection. All you need to do, is to
setup an IrDa connection profile and add in the
/etc/ppp/peers/IRDAxxxxx file a first line with
"/dev/ttyS0".
That's the way it works.
It's explained at http://www.trisoft.de/bluetooth.htm (http://www.trisoft.de/bluetooth.htm).
Unfortunately this page is actually not translated,
but i guess Babelfish will give you a good idea
what it means
