>&#13; Beamster is a little Gtk/python utility to help with IrDA transfers
especially from and to Linux PDAs
(ftp://ftp.handhelds.org/pub/linux/dists/familiar/feeds/unstable/packages/armv4l/).
It can talk to most handhelds/laptops/printers which use the IrDA Object
Exchange protocol (OBEX), in fact any device which already works with
the openobex package will work with this.
It should be fairly intuitive to use. Make sure that IrDA is 'On',
position the two devices, wait for the status bar to show that a new
peer has been discovered, choose the transfer mode (use 'Palm3' for
PalmOS peers and 'Windows' for everything else) then press 'beam' or
'receive' as appropriate. Note that 'receive' toggles on and off.
Tested transfers to and from this IrDA devices: an old Palm3,
a Psion 5MX, a Windows 98 ThinkPad and a Linux desktop with an Actisys
L220+ dongle.
