In my case, it's configured as follows in rfcomm.conf to use /dev/rfcomm0 as 
the serial port. And the major/minor device numbers are below that 
configuration.  The binary rfcomm reads this file and binds the necessary 
device to the bluetooth serial.

rfcomm0 {
        bind yes;
        device 01:CC:20:61:37:15;
        channel 1;
        comment "Treo 650";
}
neilmobile:/etc/bluetooth# ls -al /dev/rfcomm0
