Hi,
I am trying get two robots with handyboard (www.handyboard.com) to communicate with each other using bluetooth. I have considered other means like IR and RF but decided to stick with bluetooth. I understand that bluetooth is really fast for the handyboard but i am doing this for my project. So i have few questions that need to ask before i get a start on it.
1) Can i connect the device in link below to the handyboard?

2) If i do end up connecting them through RJ11 of handyboard (DB-9 to DB-25 to RJ11), how would programming work? I mean, how am i going to access the data from the RJ-11 port so the microcontroller can work on it? When a program is being downloaded from the computer to the handyboard through RJ11, it is done automatically by the interactive C. How i am going to get access to that?
3) A RS-232 cable can be connected to the handyboard so can the above device work?
3) Is it going to be a too much of a hassle to deal with bluetooth?
I am stuck at this point right now and i really appreciate your help.
Thank you very much.
