Thanks Matthew for the reply. But, its sad to say that I can't find any 
"openobex" ports in my machine.

banao# ls /usr/ports/comms/openobex
ls: /usr/ports/comms/openobex: No such file or directory

I thought of actually using this openobex port but do you know how to find the 
ports if its not in the distribution? Im using FreeBSD-5.2 and KDE 3.0. Im 
actually searching the web for it but some sites dont have a link to the 
files to be downloaded. In case you know where to find the installer that 
would really work for FreeBSD-5.2, please send the link to me.

Thanks again!
