I am using the Actisys -100s Cable plugged into a PC com port and a Palm
IIIc. All communication is done using the New Serial Manager.

I have written a Palm Pilot program that talks to a PC using a rs-232 wire
or IRComm.  The program work fine using the wire.  When I use IRCOMM the
program works but data transmition is extremely slow (especially when I have
to send and when receive just a few bytes at a time, I think this is because
IR sends data in packets). Once in a while the data speed improves to a
level that almost matches the wire speed.  I think this has something to do
with the negotiation during the discovery process. It seems that if I am
lucky enough to open the ircm port on the Palm exactly as the cable is doing
its Discovery sequence the overall connection speed improves.

Unfortunately I am restricted to using IrComm and the Actisys cable so using
the IR lib is not really an option.

Has any one else had a problem like this?
Or any suggestions on how to fix this?
Can I control or intiate a Discovery Opertion from my side and pass this
info to the IrComm section of the Serial Manager?

Thanks, Tom.

P.S.     I originally posted this msg to the comm forum but got no help so
I'm trying my luck here
