those serial commands to be sent over bluetooth to a specific device, and have
the input from that device be relayed back to RealTerm.

RealTerm, and the RealTerm page said that it had been successfully emulated on
linux before (of course, this is mac, not linux, and we're talking
bluetooth, not a simple serial connection). Probably the easiest way would be
to use a Mac serial terminal, but I don't know of any, and I don't know
if any can edit bluetooth data. Any suggestions?

You'll have to work with your Mac to find out which serial device the
Bluetooth is showing up as and then map that to a com port in Wine.
