For one-way telemetry received by Hyperterminal the Bluetooth serial port works like a charm. The port also opens with a serial port monitor program, IFILoader, etc.

Your solution doesn't work for me (on several computers). I even tried the utility at Serial-Port-Mapper.com - no joy. Whatever I try, the EasyC error is "Failed to open port #2 (#3, etc)".

I hesitate to ask, but given the other programs that do work successfully - what API call or Active/X control are you using to open the port?

Still hopeful!
