My Thinkpad 560 dmesg shows sio0 and sio1; the TP has one obvious serial connector and an IR port which I've used under WinDoze. I was expecting maybe I could talk to the IR port as /dev/cuaa1 since it seems the serial was on /dev/cuaa0. I'm interested in trying to slurp data off a silly WindozeCE machine but when I tip to cuaa1 and tell WinCE to do an IR PClink I see nothing in the tip window. I would have expected to see the WinCE to start pushing data trying to negotiate a connection. Any hints? Thanks! PS: anyone know how WinCE communicates over the IR? I'd guess PPP but have no data to back that up. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
