There's obviously still something not set correctly, because I can only get it working in Zterm. Nothing XP has got can connect to it (discovers and delegated to com port works, but nothing else).

My Bluetooth client can see the FireFly and its serial service, but I can’t connect:
This is most likely caused by a security setting on your client. FireFly does support authentication by default if the client requires it (using default pincode of “1234”,) but for ease of use, you may want to turn security off on your client. Some clients have these setting off by default, others have them on. To check and disable security:
