Hi Laurent:
Yes, the soft reset worked (I of course thought of this exactly five seconds
after sending my email), and I've used the IRDA connection again with no odd
behavior. Still don't know what happened and my Newt's never shown this
behavior before. But now that I can install new packages on my 2100, I feel
like a kid in a candy store. :-)
Thanks,
Jeff
