> Umm ... right in that case tell me, how would the IrDA dongle pass the
various handshaking lines onto the normal (DB9 or DB25) serial device
connected to it given that both that device and its driver back on the
laptop would be expecting standard Tx/Rx, DTR/DSR, RTS/CTS and CD/RI, a
total of 4 full duplex lines, WITHOUT the use of a driver shim on the PC end
to multiplex the handshaking lines onto the standard IrDA stream (which, at
the lowest level is a single full duplex connection)?


I'm enjoying this, and learning a lot, but I think we have established the
premise that IrDa conversion is not "trivial"
