This is for compatibility only ;-) Nokia seems to restrict the AT*NOKIAFBUS 
to the cable only (on a 6210 with blutooth connectivity pack it still 
worked), so you must use the corresponding WinSock commands (as far as I 
have seen there is already a bluetooth.c file in Gnokii - so this is the 
place where you have to start from).

Yes, but not via the virtual COM port. Nokia digs into the API so this is 
the reason why the PC-Suite works with a Nokia bluetooth adapter only (you 
see, everything is compatible as expected). BTW: As far as I know this 
adapter is not distributed anymore :-(

My suggestion is, that it should work with the WinSock (like the IrDA 
stuff, also in this case the AT*NOKIAFBUS command is rejected when sent 
over the virtual com port) layer.
