HOWTO (BlueZ)

1. Create a running BlueZ bluetooth setup ;-)
2. Make sure you have following installed:
   openobex-1.0.0
   bluez-libs-2.2
   bluez-sdp-1.0
   
3. get latest opd.tgz
4. unpack
5. make
6. now you should get an 'odp'
7. Make sure you've loaded following modules
   bluez
   l2cap
   rfcomm
   hci_usb (or whatever your Bluetooth hardware needs)
   
8. Make sure hciconfig says you've got an 'UP' interface
   
9. Make sure following are running:
   hcid
   sdpd
   
10. Possibly you'd want to change the BlueZ device class from 0x100 to 0x120104
    See /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf
    
11. now start odp. e.g. 'odp --mode OBEX --channel 10 --daemonize --path /home/sda/bluetooth-inbox'
    
12. Watch you syslog while sending stuff to your Linux box !
