- ms On Microsoft stack with Microsoft Wireless Transceiver for Bluetooth 2.0 (BlueCove-MS) Server or Client 600-2000 connections made before MS Stack hangs, Apply to avetana-MS as well. Don't know solution yet. May be this is related to MS Mouse Connected to the same Transceiver.
- se JSR-82 on Sony Ericsson K790 appears to be not stable. After some time 2% of connections may fail.
- BlueCove-BS2 BlueSoleil stack of any version 1.6, 2.3 or 3.2.2.8 with ES-388 Adapter (process BlueSoleil.exe on WinXP in particular) eats handles for each connection. You may restart the BlueSoleil after each hundred connections so it will not hang. See other limitations when running on BlueSoleil
