Certainly :)

I boooted into Windows. I had my dial-up ISP connection configured 
already using the built in modem. I activated the Infrared received on 
my mobile phone using the menu. When I placed the phone about 30cm from 
the laptop IR sensor, Windows bleeped and an icon appeared in the system 
tray with a bubble saying that my Samsung SGH-A300 was "in range". After 
  a few seconds thinking, the mobile phone appeared as a modem in the 
dial-up connection configuration dialog. I then selected this modem 
rather than the integrated one and started the dial-up connection 
dialling. After which, it was just a case of waiting for the connection 
to handshake and complete.

HTH,

Tony
