Thanks for your answer, Nathan.
In fact I don't want to discuss which stack to use. I've tried the other
stacks and their support is not much better than that from microsoft.
Speaking about the documentation, I can't find any advice that only one
dongle is supported. From how I understand USB (and I work with it since
some years) it was a basic idea to support several devices of the same
type an one bus (not on one port).
About my reason to use more than one dongle on one USB: I already
explained this. Anyway, I was just asking for some help which I cannot
get here.
And I'm just frustrated about this incomplete implementation by MS.
Thank you again!

|I don't see how the problem is Microsoft. Service Pack 2 simply adds

http://support.microsoft.com and search the KB articles if you want to

| The project you are working on is still not a loss. Each BlueTooth
| dongle you have purchased should have their own BlueTooth stack on the
| CD that came with them. These CAN be installed on Service Pack 2 and
| they replace the generic Microsoft BlueTooth stack if you want to.
| Check and see if any of them support all of the BlueTooth dongles (the
| popular one seems to be WIDCOMM) and try whatever you can to install a
| stack that can control more than one dongle. I still fail to see the
| point of this though as one dongle can take more connections than you
| should ever own of BlueTooth devices
