I have used birda for IrDA to talk to Nokia 8210 mobile phone this was back in 2003 on OpenBSD, and was the 3.1/3.2 era. So this would be possible, but I've not tried it in the last 10 years :~) Cheers Fred

Since pstat is written in C, the answer most obviously would be yes Also, what are the name of the serial devices? Differs on different platforms and type of devices. USB-serials wont be named as onboard serial ports and so on. -- May the most significant bit of your life be positive.

Hi, For use in the GUI of an application, I need to have a list of detected serial and parallel ports. This list is used to fill a combo box where the user select the port to use (example: in Windows, it would be a list with COM1,COM2, etc. On OpenBSD, how can we retrieve the detected serial and parallel ports?
