My G3 PB (Kanga) does IRTalk as well as IrDA. Has anyone ever used IRTalk with Photonics devices? I tried it once without success but never persued it further. These are somewhat like the Farallon IRDock. They operate across the room. I've used them with the G3, 5300 and older PBs. They plug into the serial port and ADB port (for power). I've also created adapters that hook them to a LocalTalk network. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
