This will include other computers +where the KDE Bluetooth Framework is installed, but also +phones which support this profile. + + +When you are connecting to another kbtserialchat server, then +kbtserialchat will pop up on the other system and you +can happily send each other stupid text messages. +You can also connect to the serial port of Bluetooth phones +and send arbitrary AT-commands.
