With this software, you can configure your peripheral settings and activate & deactivate components. First of all, you cannot use IrDA and the serial port at the same time. If you have IrDA turned on and want to use serial, it's a workaround to turn off the infrared port first, than reboot, than turn on the serial port. I switched from IrDA to serial some days ago and it was a pain as I had to try it several times until it was working, and nobody knows why... :-( Regards, Martin -- ,,Oh, there's a lot of opportunities, if you're knowing to take them, you know, there's a lot of opportunities, if there aren't you can make them, make or break them!''
