Can I then mention my library Brecham.Obex, it can provide the OBEX
support.  It provides full OBEX support (PUT, GET, SETPATH,
Folder-Listings, asynchronous-style calling etc), and only needs a
Stream to connect to.  It runs well on Mono (there are one or two issues
in the sample applications which I expect to be fixed with Mono 1.2.5).
It is available from http://32feet.net/   It is closed-source currently,
but free for any use.  I'd be please to hear if it works with the
Monotooth library.  Contact me by email or at the forum at the 32feet
website.


Now, just giving it a short mention, I'll note that 32feet.NET itself is
a library providing support for Bluetooth, IrDA (and simple OBEX) for
.NET.  So covering the same area as your library, but supporting
different platforms, as currently it runs on Win32 and WinCE, supporting
the MSFT Bluetooth stack on both.  It is open-source via CodePlex.

I've made a few changes locally to Mono's socket-io.c allow it to work.
But that's for another message.  Contact me if anyone's interested.
