No errors.

Just one "gotcha": I needed to uncomment "exclude irq 3"
in /etc/pcmcia/config.opts for this to work.

Works. Great!

This assumes a previous "modprobe ircomm-tty" ?

You probably meant "pilot-xfer -p /dev/ircomm0 -l"

This seems to work on the ThinkPad side, but the m515 errors on
Hotsync: 

"Unable to initiate HotSync operation because the port is in use by
another application." 

I suppose this is a problem with my m515 configuration. To be
investigated ...
