[NTLK] data on and off

[Just Vecht]

Hi Woody,

Thanks!

It looks like there is an IR port. Could that be of any use? I have a 
Nokia 6310i with IR.

I will investigate other options and go over the links you showed me. 
Seems as a Linux user the ethernet option might be best.

regards,

Just Vecht
