You'd have to do the bluetooth setup on the client device first, so
that a serial port is created. Then you configure export of that serial
device in the thinlinc client (under local devices).

For the server, have a look at this page:

http://www.cendio.com/resources/docs/tag/serial-redirection.html

We unfortunately don't have automatic redirection of serial ports to
the windows server, so you'll have to do a custom tl-run-rdesktop
command line:

	tl-run-rdesktop -r comport:COM1=$TLSESSIONDATA/dev/ttyS0

Note that this is a feature that hasn't seen much use so there might be
issues.

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
