I have a primary only userland app that does a very crude Irda
equilivent to 'rpcinfo -p' (i.e. calls LM_GetValueByClass for
'Device::DeviceName', 'Device::IrLMPSupport', and all the PnP ones). -
it works ok, but needs a lot of tidying before i can continue.

P.S. I've got a box with a permanent connection, so if you think starting a
mailing list would be a good idea...
