      The Infrared-HOWTO (former IR-HOWTO) provides an introduction
       to Linux and infrared devices and how to use the software
       provided by the Linux/IrDA project. This package uses IrDA(TM)
       compliant standards. IrDA(TM) is an industrial standard for
       infrared wireless communication, and most laptops made after
       January 1996 are equipped with an IrDA(TM) compliant infrared
       transceiver. Infrared ports let you communicate with printers,
       modems, fax machines, LANs, and other laptops. 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. AFAIK Linux/IrDA is the _only_ open source IrDA
       implementation currently available. Remote Control (RC) via
       infrared is the aim of the Linux Infrared Remote Control -
       LIRC project, and also described in this HOWTO.
