irattach is up and running against /dev/ttyS1 (my laptop has internal
modem on com1 and ir on com2/2f8). Only output displayed is from
localhost. Tried iPaq and T68i...but no connection.

What's kind of wierd is I can "irattach /dev/ttyUSB0 -s" and red light
on JetEye PC dongle lights up. This is a good sign. But irdadump still
doesn't show any other devices than localhost. Should IR phone sending
text message show up in irdadump? IR is always on in phone.
