Default PDA to LX200 - Bluetooth connection

Hi Peeps,

Just wondering if anyone could shed any light on a problem that I am
having....

I am trying to connect my Ipaq 2210 (running 'The Sky' pocket edition)
via Bluetooth to my LX200. I have managed to connect my laptop
running 'The Sky' to my LX200 with no problems via a serial bluetooth
adapter so beleive the problem I am having is with the PDA.

So, I'm just wondering if anybody here has already achieved this and
can point me in the right direction.

Questions that you may be able to answer for me are :

1. Why does the bluetooth device on the PDA have two COM ports, COM5
for inbound data and COM8 for outbound data ?

2. What COM port number should I set to in 'The Sky' set-up page ?

3. How do I reduce the Baud rate for the Bluetooth com port to 9600 so
that it will communicate with the telescope ?


Thanks in advance.
