If it's something that's interesting to you, I suggest doing a reference implementation and seeing if you can get anyone else fired up about it. I have to wonder what the linux-user crowd is so busy chortling about, myself. I've never had the slightest use for IRDA - maybe if they built laptops with IRDA ports on each side so that you could actually share data with the laptop next to you on the plane... - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
