I guys, here it is my experience:

I also got IR working on my A20m !!

So far I use IR to talk with my GSM phone (Motorola Timeport something..),
download/upload address-book from SIM or phone card, read and send SMS and
so forth. I of course use gsm libraries togheter with IR modules.

I also can surf the web using the modem inside my cell phone  but it
cannot go faster than 9600 bps, not too much )-:

After this I also tried to HotSync my HandSpring Visor via IR port but
that's really hard (USB HotSync works great and I even can surf the web
with the Handspring via my laptop!! I'm planning to make a web page on
that. If anyone is interested please let me know.).

Most of the times it gives me errors like wrong packet and the Visor
remains in a horrible state: I have to Hard reset it to make it work
again.

After a few hard resets I decided to stop.

If anyone have some clue of what's could be going on please let me know!!!

Thanks.

Marco.
