That is exactly what I want to do.
How exactly did you do it?
(Assume you are talking to an idiot!)

I could run kbluetooth, and paired my laptop and phone (Nokia 6303c),
but I didn't know what to do beyond that point.
When I ran gnokii a couple of years ago I had to start
by modifying /etc/hcid.conf , but this no longer seems to exist.

Incidentally, I tried BlueDevil from
<http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=207061>,
but this would not allow me to pair by putting in my 10-digit passkey
as it would only allow 7 or 8 digits to be inserted.
