How can I make Windows 2000 support IrComm like 95/98/ME?
IrComm is a bridge to enable serial COM port applications to use IrDA ports that was available under Windows 98. This functionality was not made available under Windows 2000 as detailed in Microsoft Knowledgebase article Q252795 – Windows 2000 Does Not Support Mapping Virtual COM Ports to Infrared Ports and further detailed on IrTran-P, IrLPT, and IrDA Networking Support under Windows 2000 There are however, two third party drivers that will give this functionality despite Microsoft’s claims it would not be possible.
