	Hi list,

is it currently possible to use infrared modems with NetBSD?

I have successfully installed comms/birda. I am using it like this:
# dmesg | grep com2
com2 at acpi0 (IBM0071)
com2: io 0x2f8-0x2ff irq 3 drq 3
com2: ns16550a, working fifo
# irdaattach -p -f -n /dev/tty02
# ircomm -d /dev/irframe0

My modem thinks it is connected. But then I don't know if I should use
cu, or if I'm supposed to be able to enter AT commands directly within
ircomm: it just echoes back what I type.

Would you know if I am doing things correctly, and what I am missing?

Cheers,
