[Tutor] infrared interface through serial port

[vicki@stanfield.net]

I am using an application at work that accepts serial
input via an attachment to the serial port. We also
have an attachment that attaches to the serial port and
accepts infrared input. This doesn't work with the
current version of the application even though the
infrared dongle is attached through the serial port. I
assume then that infrared activity must require
slightly different handling. Can anyone give me a clue
as to where to look for information on fixing this tool.
