AFAIK the Palm uses IrCOMM whenever the Serial/IR panel is set to Infrared.
I think there is also a way to specify to use Infrared without the user
having to trek to the Serial/IR panel as well. I am assuming that you have
the 3Com IrDA libraries loaded, or that you have a newer device that I think
already has these built-in.

Here is some info that came across the list a few weeks ago:

SerControl(SerialRef, serCtlIrDADisable, 0, 0);
this is the reverse of
SerControl( serRef, serCtlIrDAEnable, 0, 0 ).

Try using the SrmOpen() function from the 'New Serial Manager' if present.
Port 'ircm' is the IrCOMM virtual port. SrmOpen() returns a pointer you
pass to all the other Srm*() functions (SrmSend(), SrmReceive(), etc.)
And PPTDG has a communications section:
