Bluetooth services are those things that this computer can do
for remote Bluetooth devices. For example, if this computer
allows a remote Bluetooth device to send a fax using a fax
modem that is physically attached to this computer, then this
computer is providing the Bluetooth fax service.
Some services are hardware dependant; this computer cannot
provide the fax service unless it has a physical fax modem, for
example.

For detailed Bluetooth operations, use the Help button on the Bluetooth
application dialogue box.
