I'm still running Blunt 0.7.7 w/the Bluetooth Setup package from 0.7.6
w/my MessagePad 2100 & PICO Card and use it very frequently. The
reason for using Blunt 0.7.6's Bluetooth Setup package is that there
were major Bluetooth discovery issues in Blunt 0.7.7's Bluetooth Setup
package when using the PICO Card. Here's the blurb from
<http://web.archive.org/web/20071015094326/http://tools.unna.org/wikiwikinewt/index.php/BluntSetup>:

"Important note: The Bluetooth Setup program included in Blunt 0.7.7
may not be able to discover anything (at least this is the case with
the Pico card). Until this gets fixed, use the Bluetooth Setup.pkg
from Blunt 0.7.6 instead."

While my own blog post on the subject of configuring Blunt & the PICO
Card on my Newton
<http://www.makkintosshu.com/journal/newton-bluetooth-progress-report>
called it the "buggiest thing I’ve ever tried to do with my Newton
MessagePad 2100", it had a simple solution: freeze or delete the
SysPatch 0.6b package if you have it! (See
<http://www.makkintosshu.com/journal/solution-to-frequent-restarting-problem-with-newton-bluetooth>.)

So, with all this in mind I'd suggest the following (in this order):

1) If you're using SysPatch 0.6b, get rid of it.
2) Try using the Bluetooth Setup package from Blunt 0.7.6.
3) Try fully reverting back to Blunt 0.7.6.

Hope that helps.
