Re: NTLK IP over IrDA?

Nope, not yet possible. This would require the IRComm portion of the IrDA
stack, which doesn't exist (yet). We DO have the IrOBEX stack, called
BackTalk from SmartDog (http://www.smartdogsw.com/backtalk/index.shtml).
They are considering an IRComm stack, so you might write to them encouraging
this development.

>From their site FAQ:

Smart Dog is currently considering the implementation of additional
protocols for the Newton, including IrDA IrCOMM infrared serial
communications protocol; product plans for such depend on the acceptance of
and demand for infrared communications products in the Newton marketplace.

Sorry...and Good Luck!

Regards,

Gary

Hi, just one short question:
Ist it possible to make an Internet connection to my PC using the Infrared
port of the MP2100? That would be so much nicer than a serial cable.

Greetings,
Gert
