Thanks for your reply.
I was thinking about doing this but I do not have a tremendous amount
programming experience in serial ports and in Linux. I have done some work
in Visual Basic using serial ports. Do you know if this project can be done
in VB on C?

I'm not if there's one on the market or not. However, the Jeteye IrDA
dongles
I've found to be like "passive" devices. In other words, they will
automagically
sniff the IrDA space and drive the com port's RX line. (The Actisys dongles
require initialization, i.e. a driver. Blah) With two Jeteye dongles it's
straight forward to make your own IR sniffer. You can shield the beams so
that
each dongles picks up the transmissions from only one device. If you have a
PC
with two serial ports, then you can log all of the traffic and time tag the
messages, etc. We did that while developing IrDA code and found it
indispensable! Sorry, I can't give out the source...
