Hi again Tino,

I forgot to mention that another solution is to use Bluetooth serial
adaptors. I've been looking into these as serial cable replacements in
an assortment of projects. I've seen these from $60 to $100 around the
web. I have not purchased any yet so I don't have a specific
recommendation. A Google search on "Bluetooth serial port" will show you
lots of products.

I have used Bluetooth serial devices and they work well. Your machines
Bluetooth adaptor and software creates a com port that looks just like a
standard local com port. Your ICD software uses this port and the
Bluetooth software handles all the details of sending/receiving the data
from the remote Bluetooth device.

To use the Bluetooth option, your development box will need a Bluetooth
adaptor. These run about $35 at my local Circuit City and Best Buy.

I've seen lots of serial to radio products in my searches and I think
the Bluetooth is comparable in price. Unlike the single purpose serial
to radio products, the Bluetooth option gives you an interesting set of
services and options. Bluetooth can be a pain at times but I find that I
can do a lot of useful things with it.
