I've researched that today; I wasn't successful because with Intrepid, using blueman (which is a great tool - apart from its dependencies) and bluez-btsco are mutually exclusive. Thus, I wasn't able to complete it. But Google gives a lot of rather well documented recipes...

This is the most complete of them:
