Hi Chris The Timeport P935 runs a pretty standard version of IrDA up through and inclusive of OBEX. A pretty easy test of the link, assuming you've filled out your own vCard in the '935, is to hold down the "Home" key for several seconds and let the '935 beam your vCard to your Linux box.
Truesync is a data synchronization program from Mot's subsidiary Starfish. It runs atop PC Partner, a Windows-based program for P935 (and Accompli 009) control. The charging station's serial cable serves to link the charger's Ir port to a serial port on the host but the Ir port on charger requires a specific sequence to initialize it ... something suppied by PC Partner, only, unfortunately. However, the P935 doesn't need the charger's Ir port to talk to the host like its predecessors did.

The P935 comes with a a charging station that has an IR link that buts up against the IR port on the P935 itself. The back of the charging station has a serial cable that I've connected to my Linux box. The P935 itself runs Wisdom OS 4.0.50.70.1218. My Linux box is running 2.4.9 and I've compiled it with all the IR modules: [root@deepeddy 2.4.9-13v2smp]# find /lib/modules/2.4.9-13v2smp -name 'ir*' /lib/modules/2.4.9-13v2smp/kernel/drivers/net/irda /lib/modules/2.4.9-13v2smp/kernel/drivers/net/irda/irda-usb.o /lib/modules/2.4.9-13v2smp/kernel/drivers/net/irda/irport.o /lib/modules/2.4.9-13v2smp/kernel/drivers/net/irda/irtty.o /lib/modules/2.4.9-13v2smp/kernel/net/irda /lib/modules/2.4.9-13v2smp/kernel/net/irda/ircomm /lib/modules/2.4.9-13v2smp/kernel/net/irda/ircomm/ircomm-tty.o /lib/modules/2.4.9-13v2smp/kernel/net/irda/ircomm/ircomm.o /lib/modules/2.4.9-13v2smp/kernel/net/irda/irlan /lib/modules/2.4.9-13v2smp/kernel/net/irda/irlan/irlan.o /lib/modules/2.4.9-13v2smp/kernel/net/irda/irda.o /lib/modules/2.4.9-13v2smp/kernel/net/irda/irnet /lib/modules/2.4.9-13v2smp/kernel/net/irda/irnet/irnet.o /lib/modules/2.4.9-13v2smp/kernel/net/irda/irlan.o I've also installed the irda-utils-0.9.14-2 RPM. The P935 comes with a CD of Windows software for syncing data, but I don't run windows, so that's fairly useless to me. The CD appears to contain something called "TrueSync". So... where do I start?

For an explanation of what we're doing, see http://www.DeepEddy.Com/tms.html The Greatest tragedy in mankind's entire history may be the hijacking of morality by religion. However valuable -- even necessary -- that may have been in enforcing good behavior on primitive peoples, their association is now counterproductive. Yet at the very moment when they should be decoupled, sanctimonious nitwits are calling for a return to morals based on superstition. --- Arthur C.
