The answer is twofold
1. If you're trying to use Newton Connection Utilities over IrDA, the
answer is: You can't.
2. However, it _is_ possible to do other types of data transfer over IrDA
with either Sloup or EETrans. See Steve Weyer's page:
http://members.bellatlantic.net/~sweyer/newton/sloup/connect.htm#IrDA
The above two items are mentioned on the FAQ for the Newton Community
available at:
(among other places). Just search for "IrDA" (I added a search engine
for JUST the FAQ section of the Info-Newt site recently!)
Always a good place to start searching for the answers to your Newton
question (this one gets asked a LOT.)
Another cool way to use IrDA to transfer info is using a terminal program
and EETrans; this is a bit different from the Sloup method above and also
has it's uses and may be a bit easier:
I wrote about it on Info-Newt a while back:
http://www.info-newt.com/backissues/1999/19990919.html
(search within the page using your browser's page/file search command to
find "IrDA" or "kieran", or just scroll down until you find it.)
