BlueSMiRF Silver WRL-08332 communication problem

Bluetooth Modem - BlueSMiRF Silver WRL-08332

Seems that I am not alone on this one.

Just received this module and have played now for a couple of days.

I am following the instructions as per thhe manual on the site.

settings on my XP SP2 running hyperterminal are as follows and as per manual ( I think)

-115200

-8n1 flow controll off

-red light is on module

-Green light comes on when hyperterminal connects on com 7 (7 is correct)

Hyperterminal always wants to autodetect speed, and always displays 2400 8n1 at the bottom of the window - not sure why or if this is a problem, but the green light is on.

have tried TX and rx shorted and unshorted but can not get an answer back from the modem. With rx and tx shorted, it seems to echo my input, but no way can i get aany response from it.

I have used +++ as in the manual and tried $$$ just in case, but never any response.

Iwould have to think the fact that hyperterminal is saying that it is connecting at 2400 is an issue, but what might be causing this?

I have tried all speeds, including 2400 but the results are the same, never get any response back from the module.

My Pc is a p4 IBM thinkcenter, bluetooth master is a motorola pc850

Assistance is appreciated
