I tried to use BT to connect OneStep to CdC, but I have a problem - BT presents itself via ASCOM driver as two independent ports (one for RX, another for TX?) and connection is not working.
Anybody succeeded in something like this?

It is funny actually..
W'7 reports HC05 as connected (as it should, this BT transceiver is used on my OneStep interface) but when I go to telescope pane, I see two serial ports, instead of one.
The same is happening on my XP machine.
I am using the latest ASCOM (6.3) and latest OnStep driver (1.36)

Looks like I found out what was wrong with BT (https://www.google.com.au/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=5&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwiRsPyV94fXAhUBVLwKHaYFB0 IQFghJMAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.usconverters. com%2Fdownloads%2Fucbt232b_exa%2FHo w-to-setup-a-serial-bluetooth-adapter.pdf&usg=AOvVaw1dTtfOx8jJSUR2VtKrMvze) on my XP and w'7 systems (but not on w'8 and onwards).
Something about main port ('dev B')...
Will try and report.
