Hi there! ;)
Actually, I successfully do PPP-over-GSM with Nokia 6210
(HSCSD - connect 38.4K ;) ). but there's some differences:
1st: Mine is DELL Latitude CPi which uses some SMC-chip as IrDA, and
it allows BSD to see IrDA port as usual sio1.
2nd: sio1 works well, and doesn't matter if I set up SIR/FIR mode for IrDA.
btw, how your kernel indentifies your IrDA?
Could you mail me your kernel config?

82Cxxx looks like VIA??? Is there sio emulation mode or not?

Same: 4.5-RELEASE, 4.5-STABLE, now it's 4.6-RELEASE with birda-0.8,
then 1.00 ;)

neuromancer# cat ppp-gsm
#/bin/sh
ircomm -d /dev/cuaa1 -y /dev/ptypa -Y
ppp -ddial gsm
If you want I could mail you my ppp config, but it really
depends on your phone operator. The only major note is that connection
should be made (in my example) to /dev/ttypa
I'm afraid it's the only way to get PPP-over-GSM running using birda:
IrDA chip should support sio emulation. If not, IMHO, you should wait
until IrDA stack will be implemented into kernel... ;(
btw, does anyone of committers work on it? It would be cool to have 100%
IrDA under FreeBSD... Actually, I would like to control IrCOMM parameters
(not only default 57600,8N1) and get more speed than 115Kbit/s (less need)...
