Some time ago, I tested this by running one of the apps included
in birda. It was ircomm or irs, I forgot which one, it just printed
out some data whenever the IR port received a signal. I sent signals
with my TV remote.

I didn't get farther than this, because that was around the time
when Maksim introduced bluetooth support to FreeBSD, and I used that
from then on. This was on an IBM T30.

Hope that helps, Tobias
