I am using a bluetooth dongle to create a virtual serial port on my PC.
When I try to use fopen to open it it takes over 45 seconds.   (with a real serial port it would take far less than 1 sec).  

Wondering if anyone else has seen this.   In particular wondering if its a matlab issue
or an issue with my bluetooth driver/software (BlueSoliel 6.2).   If the later, is there some setting that can improve the fopen speed?

As far as matlab I am not doing anything unsual
a = serial('com16') ;
fopen(a);
