USB is faster than Serial ports, and supports Plug-n-play.

GoWin: Theoretically, yes, but in real life, at least i donīt notice any difference. I have USB/IRDA @ work and serial @home

You wont notice any difference because IRDA cannot communicate up to the max speed of the com port, let alone USB. Just get the cheapest one you can.

phil@

It is not true that an usb irda dongle cannot reach the speed of a serial dongle.

I own HAMA IrDA USB Dongle and it supports "Fast Infrared" technology, making it possible to reach 4MBps transfers. Yep - 4 000 000 bps.

guys,
what about the "ir" device i got for the mouse and board, i really do not need the ps2 output that can be connected with a USB adaptor...is there any way to make it work as a irDA device to manage with the t68i?

thanks
