any console-based bluetooth wizard available?

Hello Willem.  For text console bluetooth access and configuration of
devices, use the hci utilities.  In particular, there is a program
called hcitool, which supports several bluetooth commands.  In order to
see which bluetooth devices your computer can connect to, type:

hcitool scan

It will take a few seconds, then hcitool will return a list of addresses
and devices.  In order to connect to a device, type hcitool cc 
<address>

<address> is the address of the device you got from the scan list.  I
hope this helps.
