>&#13;The Infrared-HOWTO provides an introduction to Linux and
infrared devices and how to use the software provided by the Linux/IrDA
project. This package uses IrDA(TM) compliant standards. IrDA(TM) is an
industrial standard for infrared wireless communication, and most laptops made
after January 1996 are equipped with an IrDA(TM) compliant infrared
transceiver. Infrared ports let you communicate with printers, modems, fax
machines, LANs, and other laptops or PDAs. Speed ranges from 2400bps to 4Mbps.
</P
><P
>&#13;The Linux/IrDA stack supports IrLAP, IrLMP, IrIAS, IrIAP, IrLPT, IrCOMM,
IrOBEX, and IrLAN. Several of the protocols are implemented as both clients
and servers. There is also support for multiple IrLAP connections, via
several IrDA(TM) devices at once. The Linux/IrDA project started at the end
of 1997 and experienced some major rewrites since then. Please don't expect every
feature working straight yet. As far as I know Linux/IrDA is the only open source IrDA
implementation available.
</P
><P
>&#13;Remote Control (RC) via infrared is the aim of the
Linux Infrared Remote Control - LIRC project, and also described in this HOWTO.
