the latency is horrible for me too (order of seconds), but never tried
without irda stack in the middle (I simply don't have the cable :).

There seems to be some huge packet loss here too. However I never
investigated further because this extremely slow link is usually enough
to read a few emails and a few webpages on the road (and you know it's
free of charge in italy so even if it is slow it's still very good :),
but I'd really like if it could become faster and I also suspect it's so
slow because of an irda problem...

for the record, the laptop is a dell inspiron setup as SIR in the bios.
