I did. I tried the examples, esp. the uart demo and the timers demo to 
see if its running.
And hacked a crude hw-handshake routine which is already superseded by 
the preview from harald...

I want to do this.
Actually, I'd like to define a semester term project and have a student 
doing the re-write.
You could get the current version running quite fast, (basically use 
our current dispatcher
as a nut/os thread.) but then it would not use signal, events, ...

We tried to port using code from bluez and openbt, but both had not 
been suitable for the atmel.
as far as I know, the code is written from scratch with glimpses into 
other open source code.

Feel free.. :)
BNEP & PAN is not to much. Do you know of any mobile devices that 
support it?
(not counting linux machines)..
HTTP over TCP/IP over PPP over RFCOMM over L2CAP over HCI should 
work.... :)

Actually, that's the other point besides having a 'real' os why it 
would be good to start
using nut/os & nut/net: the ppp, tcp/ip, etc. is included.
