I believe it _should_ be OK, provided the phone does AT-modem emulation
on the Ir post. You just need the right AT codes.
   I tried this with '3' and a motorola handset, but no luck. The 
so-called manual provided with the phone doesn't mention IrDA.
The Indian support is useless, but i eventually got to an Australian
support company who at least understood my question, but didn't help.
    Getting CSD by IrDA was no problem.  I've been told that bluetooth 
->  GPRS might be easier.
