I just got a new phone with an IR port, so I've got renewed interest in
setting up IR. After a bit of archive searching, I've determined that
the IrDA page on the wiki is outdated. In partucular, there isn't a
/dev/ttySA2 to use.

So there's a /dev/ircomm0. Can I use this straight away? Or do I have
to do something to it (like irattach)?

I can do IR discovery OK and detect my phone. What I would like to do
is establish a serial connection to the phone so I can type some AT
commands to it. Is there a minicom package I can find somewhere?

Thanks,

Cameron
