I have used the IR link between 755CE's and 755CD's quite a few times... It
works as advertised. The IR window in front of the TP's is very small, and
I didn't have much luck with the machines that were docked (i.e. had to use
the front port.) We've been able to transfer huge file (i.e. AVI files as
large as 100 megs) without any problems. I like how TranXit works... it is
very much line LapLink. I've never tried distances over a couple of feet
between the machines.
The only other machines with IR capabilities that I'm aware of are the Sharp
Wizards, and the HP palmtops.
I bought an HP Laserjet 5MP which also had IR built in, but HP recalled
them before I had a chance to see how wireless printing works.
