Re: Communicate via the IrDA port between a PPC and an non_Windows

The other device is a personnal industrial device(with just a µP and
peripherics).I have implemented a modem IrDA.
"Receive all incoming beams" is of course disabling on the PDA.
I'm sure the port Com is correct(with HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE I have acces to the
register base).
I choose IrComm (COM 3 on my PDA)) for a try to "dialog" with "sockets".
I choose IrDA(COM2) for a try to dialog "directly"(and here I have the error
55).Oh, by the way, I try to open the COM3 withouts sockets(like a serial
port COM...) and I can do it, but I can't configure the port COM3 in thi
case.I have no error message but it seems that the OS don't considere this
port as physical ports(just for sockets?).
Fanzl.
Thank for your help.
