It depends exactly what you mean. If you are using the serial manager
to communicate via IrCOMM then this is certainly implemented in the
future - you can either use the IR enhancements from 3com which allow
you to map serial output as IrCOMM - it gives the user a new panel in
preferences to swap between cradle and IR serial functions (this can
be used to IR HotSync, also...). The other way is to upgrade to OS
3.3 and use the new serial manager - this allows you to open the
serial port as 'ircm' directly and send as IrCOMM without any
prerequisite for the user to change the port map. The new sm also
allows you to open the IR hardware directly(?). Have at look at
'Specifying the Port ID' on page 205 of the programmers companion
(and also the stuff before it).
If anyway an point me in the right direction to get the header files
so that I can actually _use_ the New Serial Manager, I would be very
very grateful... 8).
