My recollection is that the IrDA on a TAM is for the remote controller
only, so you can't use it to send. IIRC, the IrDA can't be set up as a
serial port, therefore it can't handle incoming from the newt either. I
don't have one so this is based on my own shady memories. Anyone want to
provide me with one to prove me wrong? No? Oh well. Odds are you can
prove me wrong later anyway.

If this makes you want to ditch it, by all means I will take it off your
hands. :)

later,
