I'm designing an application that will talk via TCP/IP in a client/server 
style.

I've done absolutely no TCP/IP stuff on Palm at all, so I'm going to sound 
pretty clueless initially, so bear with me.

In the final version, I plan to use bluetooth to initiate a connection to an 
ISP via a mobile phone.  However, since I don't have access to a bluetooth 
SDIO card yet, I figure it makes sense to make this work initially via 
infrared.

I assume that the initialisation of the PPP(?) connection needs to be done 
differently for IR versus bluetooth, but that once the connection is 
established, the rest of the code will be able to do a connect() call without 
knowing what the underlying PPP is?  Ie, whether I initiate the link via IR 
or bluetooth, I assume that either I get back some kind of descriptor that I 
can use to initiate the connect() call or that it's hidden from me altogether 
and simply doing a connect() will automatically use the current underlying 
interface?

Can someone point me at an example piece of code that initiates a PPP session 
via IR to a mobile phone?  Also, a sample piece of code that uses the Palm OS 
networking APIs to initiate some kind of simple connection would be great, 
too.

Is there a general place I can do searches for this kind of stuff?

Thanks in advance,

Harry O.
