BlueSMiRF -continued from software/interfacing

I put this into software/interfacing by accident, moving it here.*

I got my BlueSmirf in the mail today, and i cant figure out how to get the thing to work.

I have connected it to my pc (the light turns red blink to green), but i cant enter data mode. i tried putty and my own version of hyperterminal, but i get no response. im tying to get into data mode to drop the baud rate down to 9600.

anyone have a good tutorial? i found a bunch, but they havent helped...
