.NET USB Library

I have been unable thus far to obtain any free Bluetooth library in either .NET or any other language that would enable me to use the Widcomm Bluetooth stack.

The Franson library works sufficiently enough but I do not want to buy a $99 library just for my current freeware project. I am on day 5 of my 14 day trail period so I need to get another way of communicating with my cell phone.

I decided to use the USB port for now. I am developing a cell phone library that will be able to communicate with any cell phone that is compatible with the extended Hayes modem commands. To enable me to test my library extensively over the next few months I will need a connection to my cell phone that will not expire and is free.

I decided to use the #USBlib to communicate with my cell phone via USB. The libary is open source and can be obtained from icsharpcode.
