FYI, virtual serial drivers were removed from OS 5, so this won't really work if you want to support it.

I have not tried it myself but you should be able to write a virtual serial driver to do it. The Virtual serial driver would communicate with your hardware and return the data to any application that had opened the serial port that specified your driver. Look in the SDK Serial communications section for details. There is an example in the Palm knowledge base called CryptoDrvr that could help. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dario Alvarez" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Palm Developer Forum" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, April 26, 2004 2:27 PM Subject: Re: INFRARED PORT PROGRAMMING > Thanks Dave > But maybe i don�t explain myself very well. > Is it possible for "any" application ( no matter who made it) to receive > ASCII data from the IR PORT from my custom device?
