Finally, I did something right - by accident!
Christian, could I ask you to please send me (off list if
you like) some screen shots of what happens when you connect
the NXT?
I can't remember if I sent you Mac instructions, but you just
look for the new device in /dev if I remember.

Cool! Sorry about the API changes and lack of sample programs. I have
to rework the ones I have, or I'll take any submissions and add them
to the archive (hint hint)

Is socat a standard OSX program?

There are always wishes. A filesystem is my next work too if the current
firmware is acceptable to others. Console to Bluetooth is tricky because
it requires an always on stream to the Bluecore. You can only stream to
one device at a time.
If you were ambitious, you could make a little event watcher that when
a button is pressed, the stream is activated for console I/O and then
closed for other comms. Once the console is closed, the Bluetooth
is available for other apps.

Thanks Christian. I love getting feedback - any feedback.
