Actually, the devices that I most want to talk to are my PalmPilot and digital camera, which I think both use SIR. It should be possible to pretend the IR port is just a 16550. It is detected when I set the address and IRQ correctly, but when I ran "cu", it didn't seem to transmit anything. I just looked at it through a video camera which is very sensitive to IR, and I saw nothing while typing characters. It also received nothing when I beamed my pilot or digital camera at it. I suspect it needs some initialization, but haven't had much time to wade through the specs (I think it uses the SMC IRCC chip). -- Christopher Masto Senior Network Monkey NetMonger Communications chris@netmonger.net info@netmonger.net http://www.netmonger.net Free yourself, free your machine, free the daemon -- http://www.freebsd.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
