As I mentioned in email, I finally got my Bluetooth-equipped Dell laptop to
talk to my 8300 and my wife's. Mine (the first one) grabbed port 40, hers port
41. I surmise, from your experience and mine, that a Bluetooth driver will
start assigning ports with 40 and continue upwards from there, as long as
those ports aren't already taken. But just try to find that written down
anywhere.

Thanks. I learned some useful stuff while using up a couple of vacation days
this week; sounds like you did too.
