Good. You are amongst the few ;-)

Good question. Don't know. You should check the base address
and irq of the serial port and see if it matches.
Another possibility is that NT use it in FIR mode (whereas you
use it in SIR mode).

I think you can stick that in some of the /etc/rc.d/*
files. The latest irda-utils may have an example. For me, I prefer to
stay in control.

You can write a shell scripts including those commands
(i.e. dump the commands in a text file) and make an icon of this
scripts on your desktop.
Please ask the KDE people.

Shell script with bit s (special permission). You can probably
also use packages like "sudo" to do that.

The deployement of both GPRS and HCSD is quite slow
overall. Your ISP may not provide it. Your phone may not have it. And
you phone may require a special configuration to use it.

In theory, in 2.4.0 you can use Plug'n'play support to do
that. And I'm sure that there are module parameters to do the job (to
configure in modules.conf). See .../linux/Documentation/Sound/*, or
contact the maintainer of the driver.
