[irda-users] infrared baud rate

[Enrico Ng <en...@ui...>]

I am building a device using IR.
it has a 8Mhz crystal, so it can do 125000 baud.

for testing purposes I would like to have it communicate with the IR
port on my laptop.  I would want to use a some program where I can
control the bits being sent and received directly to see if my device
works.

Can I set my computer to do 125000baud, or is it limited to standard
baudrates like 9600, 115200?
Is there a program that I can use to control the bits being sent and
received directly?
