If you want a fancy G.U.I. application (GTK+), I've heard good things about The |

Blueman Project (net-wireless/blueman), although I've never used it myself. I |

assume it transfers binary files with OBEX [1], conferring with the BlueZ kernel |
| 10 |
driverset [2, 3]. |

net-wireless/bluez:obex - Enable OBEX transfer support |

I'm sure you've already seen this, but you might derive value from the "Device |
