Thanks for the advice, unfortunately this just confirms my ignorance about irda under freebsd ;) If I correctly understand my (second and closer) reading of the pkg-desc, birda only works on serial port dongles ? "A set of utilities to communicate with IrDA devices over an IrDA port on a serial line." So my built in infrared port wont work. (toshiba type-0.) Is this correct ? (guess i buy a dongle if so.)
