Bluetooth protocol stack for NewtonOS 2.1 devices.
Blunt implements a basic Bluetooth protocol stack for NewtonOS 2.1 devices. It provides two services: Connecting to a serial Bluetooth port and object exchange. The serial port functionaltity can be used to connect via PPP to the Internet by using a cell phone or desktop computer. The object exchange functionality allows sending of data from any Newton application and receiving of items from the Inbox application. Serial connectivity is integrated into the Newton Internet Enabler via the NIE Nitro & Blunt Support module, object exchange is part of Neo.
