Tried, both with my Palm and my phone. No luck :) To quote one of the
famous chaps from Monty Python: dead as a herring. And ifconfig shows
this after having tried to poke the IR connection with various things
that should generate traffic:
lapper:~# ifconfig irda0
irda0 Link encap:IrLAP HWaddr 50:3e:7e:5d
