The two DB9F AirCable adapters I now have here work very well as serial port replacements for the new notebook computer (sans serial ports) with BT.

Thanks, Mark!

I've just now put together a DB9M--DB9M null-modem cable to let me use them for other devices around here (embedded boards, mostly), and they're working well (and easily!) enough that I'm not even going to bother getting a more conventional USB--serial cable.

Cheers
