irda serial port emulator

[Guest]

Hello,

I am trying to write a program using .NET CF to interface with a PDA IR port
which communicates with an ACTiSYS IR100S Intelligent IR port. This device
contains the iRDA protocol stack so that when it is connected to a PC it
looks like a standard RS232 port.

I have some sample code which allows data to be sent via IrDA on my PDA.
This works between 2 PDAs running the same software. If I try to connect to a
PC then I would have expected to see some data when running hyperterminal. I
do not. Also I have found a terminal emulator for the PDA which allows IrDA
connection to the PC and I can send data from PDA to PC/ PC to PDA. Similarly
I have tried my sample code talking between 2 PDAs where 1 has the terminal
emulator and I don't see any data passed between the 2.

The code I have will also discover IrDA devices and this works OK.

I have 2 questions:

1. Why do I not see any data when running my sample code on either terminal
emulator window?

2. Do you have any .net sample code which I can use to communicate between
a PC and a PDA via IrDA? In my final application the remote device will be a
"dumb" device which accepts commands via RS232, so I can not expect to be
able to add any code to the remote device.

Thanks

Steve
