[NTLK] IrDA using BackTalk with QuickBeam on a PC

Victor,

This seems to work for me on my Toshiba laptop - but only when sending from
the PC to the Newton. Have you gotten it to work the other way around?

QuickBeam doesn't appear to recognize the Newton connection - even though
the "Infrared Monitor" sees the connection. In fact it connects, and
disconnects every couple of seconds when I try to send a text file.

Thanks.
