Yesterday I was slashed down for phrasing such things more precisely and accurate. Today I choose the political correct mumbo jumbo ;) Don't want to hurt anyone's feelings again...

There is this Java app (http://sourceforge.net/projects/bt747). It works as well as any Java application for me, if you know what I mean. I haven't worked my way thru the dependencies yet. Thus decide yourself on the screenshots. http://bt747.wiki.sourceforge.net/screenshot

I am kind of tempted to add a setup for this device into my own toolchain.
