Are you sure the port is right? Tried cuaa0? I have gotten my laptop (Dell Inspiron 8600) to talk to my phone (Nokia 8210) and Pocket PC using IRDA. I use ircomm though, ie [inchoate 10:07] ~ >sudo ircomm -d /dev/cuad1 -y /dev/ptypv -v 2 discovered Nokia 8210, address=75a2, hints=PnP, Modem, Fax, Telephony, IrCOMM, IrOBEX query completed 115200 baud LAP connected comm connected Now I can do, say, [inchoate 10:12] ~ >cu -l /dev/ttypv -s 57600 can't open log file /var/log/aculog.
