Would users of the Galileo dive computers please comment on the following text that is intended for the user manual?

The Uwatec Galileo dive computers use infra red (IrDA) communication between the dive computer and Subsurface. Under Linux, the kernel already provides for communication using the IrDA protocol. However, the user additionally needs to load the drivers for the IrDA interface with the dive computer. The easiest way is to load the irda-tools package from http://irda.sourceforge.net/docs/startirda.html. After the installation of the irda-tools, a device name can be specified from the console as follows:
irattach irda0
After executing this command, Subsurface will recognise the Galileo dive computer and download dive information.

I need to know how Windows and Mac users achieve communications with Galileo using Subsurface.

Kind regards,
willemf
