Hi Kevin, I don't know exactly how is it the bluetooth protocol (I had 
chances to get to know USB deep enough, but not BT), anyway actually we 
have to say that BT supports TCP/IP, so if Mark plans to use a bluetooth 
network adapter, it will show up as a separate network adapter (on 
windows) with its own IP address. It could then be detected coth pinging 
to that network segment, or monitoring the number of net card installed.

But, exactly, Mark, which kind of peripheral are you planning to use? BT 
has the (kind of) disadvantage in that it has a big stack supporting 
almost "anything" (audio, COM port, tcpip) and is a complicated thing!
