However, the problem is that I'm running Windows NT on my desktop machine machine and a lot of communication software doesn't work under NT. For example, Laplink doesn't work under NT (at least over a parallel cable). Do these irDa devices require special drivers to operate or are they simply hardware devices that would work with any program (e.g. kermit) that talks politely with the serial port under NT?? Currently, to transfer files, I reboot from NT to DOS and run laplink. This is quite inconvenient as I often have lengthy optimization calculations running on the NT machine. I contacted two vendors of these devices trying to get an answer to this question, but I was unable to penetrate the sales/marketing barrier. I'd appreciate any information that anybody has. John D.
