[irda-users] SIR supported on HP Omnibook 5700?

[Mark A. H. <ha...@an...>]

Hi,

I'm in the market for an old/cheap laptop and have the opportunity to buy an
HP Omnibook 5700.  My google search for Linux-IRDA support on this machine
came up indeterminate.  Apparently it does not emulate a normal serial port
for SIR mode.  In any case, I only need SIR mode to talk to my cell phone
(FIR would be a bonus).  Can someone with first-hand knowledge confirm that
this actually works?  And how did you set it up?

Thanks,

Mark
