>Has anyone any experience with using infrared ports to copy large files to >a desktop? I tried this when Adaptec first came out with their add-on IR, and was very disappointed. I was never able to get better than 56Kb between my desktop and a 701C. Even that was iffy for large files. I could do better Thinkpad <-> Thinkpad, but to the desktop 115Kb was a distant dream. 30MB file copies were an overnight operation (when they worked). This was one of the most unsatisfactory computer hardware purchases I ever made. If you're doing a lot of this, you'll probably be happier getting something like a ZIP drive (I've been quite satisfied with the speed of SCSI-based ZIP drive for things like this) or investing in an Ethernet.
