Makes sense.

Me neither. If 0.19 didn't work, I would but, hey, I'm lazy :)

There some some very big differences between 6230 and 6230i in several
other aspects, but I don't think OBEX itself is one of them.

USB seems to be pretty different. 6230 uses a DKU-2 cable, while 6230i
uses one called CA-53.

So probably I would have no problem with BlueTooth or IR, but with USB
it seems to be a no go.

I actually tried that, and didn't work. Real pitty.

I tried it a few moments ago without success, mostly because of
USB limitations on the package. Might work for BT or IR.
