Thanks Hal, your assuption is correct. pilot-xfer can go across the
link using /dev/ircomm0. Have yet to test jpilot, but I assume it
will just work the same way.

I want to congratulate all the IRDA/Linux developpers for their amazing
work. I have had a terrible time with IRDA/Windows at my workplace, this
is
why I can really appreciate your achievements with Linux. 
Go ahead and a big THANK !

Charles
