Re: [NTLK] Rent a coder?

As long as I can do this via the IrDA port. I won't use a serial cable. The
other issue is that not everybody has a dongle for their MP's or the SER-001
so it might behoove you to support the Ir port and/or even support tcpip -
which in my mind would be ideal. This I would pay for, but I certainly
wouldn't go back to the cable/dongle method.
