A copy of the license is included in the section entitled "GNU Free Documentation License". $Date: 2003/06/16 13:57:15 $ Abstract The Infrared-HOWTO provides an introduction to Linux andinfrared devices and how to use the software provided by the Linux/IrDAproject. This package uses IrDA(TM) compliant standards. IrDA(TM) is anindustrial standard for infrared wireless communication, and most laptops madeafter January 1996 are equipped with an IrDA(TM) compliant infraredtransceiver. Infrared ports let you communicate with printers, modems, faxmachines, LANs, and other laptops or PDAs. Speed ranges from 2400bps to 4Mbps. The Linux/IrDA stack supports IrLAP, IrLMP, IrIAS, IrIAP, IrLPT, IrCOMM, IrOBEX, and IrLAN. Several of the protocols are implemented as both clients and servers. There is also support for multiple IrLAP connections, via several IrDA(TM) devices at once. The Linux/IrDA project started at the end of 1997 and its status is still experimental, so please don't expect every feature working straight.
