Linux Bluetooth dongles

Hi!
I have Bolutek BTD-6610 Ultra long range dongle. It supports only 7 simultaneously connections. I'm using Fedora core 14.

Can you recommend me another ultra long range dongle with more than 7 simultaneously connections.

I' mean is there dongle which support 50 or 100 simultaneously connections and supports Linux?

7 simultaneous devices per piconet is all that is allowed in the Bluetooth standard, it is not a limitation of that particular adapter or Linux. If you need to connect to more than 7 devices at the same time, then you need to look into setting up a scatternet.

What exactly are you trying to do? What is the goal of this setup?

I need to send to multiple mobile phones. Is it possible to send to more then 7 phones from one bluetooth dongle?

Sending a file to more than 7 devices and having more than 7 devices in one piconet are two completely different things. You will be able to send files to an infinite number of devices with any Bluetooth adapter, you just can't maintain a continuous connection with more than 7 devices at one time.
